2023 Cancer Prevention Vaccine Snapshot
The Wisconsin Cancer Collaborative has published a new data report, 2023 Cancer Prevention Vaccine Snapshot. The report is based on data provided by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services Wisconsin Immunization Program.
Highlights include:
- HPV and hepatitis B vaccines are important cancer prevention tools.
- HPV initiation rates for 11–12-year-olds have slightly declined compared to 2022.
- For the second year, Wisconsin continues to meet its Wisconsin Cancer Plan 2020–2030 goal of a 50% HPV vaccination completion rate for both male and female 13–17-year-olds.
- Hepatitis B vaccine initiation and completion rates for 19–59-year-olds have increased compared to 2022, but more work is needed to meet the Wisconsin Cancer Plan 2020–2030 goal.
