The American Student Dental Association supports the ADA Policy on Vaccine Administration and encourages more states to adopt legislation that allows dentists to administer HPV vaccination as a preventative measure to prevent oral and oropharyngeal cancers caused by HPV. ASDA encourages dental schools to incorporate vaccine administration, including HPV vaccination, into their curricula and to administer vaccinations in clinical settings, when appropriate (e.g., between 9-12 years of age for HPV vaccination).
