For pediatricians or PCPs looking to improve HPV vaccine rates, communication is key. In this simulation, you will practice techniques to introduce and discuss the vaccine with parents and young patients, including those who may be hesitant to immunize.

HPV vaccines are one of the safest and most effective vaccines with a huge potential to save lives, yet have one of the lowest usage rates. HPV Vaccine: Same Way, Same Day™ is a role-play simulation where you play the role of a pediatrician and engage in a series of practice conversations with a virtual family. Through these scenarios, you will learn how to:
- Introduce the vaccine in the same way and on the same day as other vaccines
- Confidently recommend the vaccine
- Effectively answer questions about effectiveness and safety

In your practice, you may encounter parents who seem hesitant about the HPV vaccine. Using techniques drawn from Motivational Interviewing, you will practice shared decision-making with families by asking open-ended questions, reflecting their concerns, showing empathy, and respectfully sharing information. By following these techniques, your trusted opinion can overcome a parent’s hesitation about the HPV vaccine for their child.
