The Madison County Health Department is pleased to announce that three healthcare\u00a0provider practices were recently presented with an Immunization Champion award for\u00a0increasing their vaccination rates to protect boys and girls from human papillomavirus.<\/p>\n

Child Health Associates in Oneida, Family Health Center of Hamilton, and Family Health\u00a0Center of Morrisville were the three practices who achieved the highest HPV vaccine series\u00a0completion rates for 13- to 17-year-olds in Madison County in January 2016 while also\u00a0achieving an increase in the HPV vaccine series completion rate from January 2015 to\u00a0January 2016.<\/p>\n

The driving force behind the campaign the New York State Department of Health and local health departments kicked off in early 2015 is \u201cHPV vaccine is cancer prevention.\u201d<\/p>\n

Madison\u00a0County Health Department worked with 12 healthcare provider practices to increase the HPV\u00a0vaccine series completion rate for 13- to 17-year-olds in Madison County.<\/p>\n

Health Department\u00a0staff provided baseline vaccination rates to each practice, along with strategies and\u00a0educational materials recommended from the Centers for Disease Control. Health\u00a0Department staff continued to check in with each practice over the course of the year,\u00a0providing an update on their practice rates in September, offering additional materials and\u00a0assistance, and seeking feedback.<\/p>\n

As a result, the Madison County report showed a six percent increase in the HPV vaccine\u00a0series completion rate among 13- to 17-year-olds in one year.<\/p>\n

This roughly triples the initial goal set.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud of our healthcare providers, who have worked diligently to educate parents\u00a0on the importance of their children receiving the HPV vaccine,\u201d said Cheryl Geiler, Director of\u00a0Community Health for Madison County Health Department.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
