Brief summary
The provision of adolescent vaccination in a school setting will be feasible and acceptable to parents as evidenced by the number and percentage of students immunized within each school compared to those in schools without a program. The likelihood of vaccination for diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (Tdap), human papillomavirus (HPV), and meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4) and all three combined) among eligible students enrolled in schools with a comprehensive school-based immunization program will be significantly higher than that of students enrolled in schools without a school-based immunization program.
