Percentage of adults ages 18–26 Years who received a human papillomavirus vaccine.

Overall, in 2019, 47.0% of adults aged 18–26 years had ever received an HPV vaccination.

Non-Hispanic White adults (49.7%) were more likely than Hispanic adults (40.6%) to have ever received an HPV vaccination; differences between non-Hispanic Black adults (45.8%) and the other two groups were not statistically significant.

Overall, women were more likely than men to have been vaccinated (56.6% versus 37.2%), and this pattern was seen for non-Hispanic White women and men (60.6% versus 38.6%) and for Hispanic women and men (50.2% versus 30.8%).

However, the difference between non-Hispanic Black women and men (48.9% versus 43.0%) was not statistically significant.
