Abstract：
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a viral infection that sexually active females and males may be exposed to in their lifetime. The HPV vaccine is highly recommended especially among children to protect them before their anticipated exposure to HPV, however, vaccination uptake in Hawai\'i remains low. As of 2017, legislation allows pharmacists to vaccinate for adolescent vaccines with the potential to increase access and opportunities for patients to complete the HPV vaccine series. Physicians in Hawai\'i were surveyed to examine physicians\' awareness of this law, their perceptions of the role of pharmacists, and willingness to send adolescent patients to pharmacies; 137 responses were received and analyzed. Overall, 72% (n=99) of respondents were willing while 28% (n=38) were unwilling to send patients to pharmacies for vaccines. Physicians view pharmacists\' role as helpful but have concerns regarding correct administration and tracking doses given. Results show potential for more physician-pharmacist collaborations through further education and trainings for pharmacists and health providers to increase physician referrals for adolescent vaccine services in pharmacies.
摘要：
人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）是性活跃的女性和男性可能在其一生中暴露的病毒感染。特别是在儿童中，强烈建议使用HPV疫苗，以在他们预期接触HPV之前保护他们。然而,夏威夷的疫苗接种率仍然很低。截至2017年，立法允许药剂师为青少年疫苗接种，有可能增加患者完成HPV疫苗系列的机会和机会。对夏威夷的医生进行了调查，以检查医生对这项法律的认识，他们对药剂师角色的看法，和愿意将青少年患者送到药房；收到并分析了137份回复。总的来说,72％（n=99）的受访者愿意，而28％（n=38）不愿意将患者送往药房购买疫苗。医生认为药剂师的作用是有帮助的，但对正确的给药和跟踪剂量有顾虑。结果显示，通过对药剂师和健康提供者的进一步教育和培训，增加药房中青少年疫苗服务的医生推荐，可能会有更多的医师与药剂师合作。
