Summary

This study looks at whether offering the HPV vaccine to children at age 9 or 10, instead of the usual age of 11 or 12, makes parents more likely to agree to it. The goal is to get more kids fully vaccinated before they are exposed to the virus, which can cause several cancers later in life. About 3,100 children from clinics in Colorado and California are taking part.
