Do ObGyns plan on getting a 9vHPV vaccine?

In his editorial, "9vHPV vaccine: Prevention of oropharyngeal cancer" (November 2020), Editor in Chief Robert L. Barbieri, MD, asked, "As a gynecologist, should you receive the 9vHPV vaccine?" He noted that the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP) now recommends that clinicians "who are routinely exposed to HPVs consider 9vHPV vaccination" and cited a study that found that 19% of 700 gynecologists who performed LEEP procedures without a surgical mask had HPV DNA present in the nose (which was no longer detectable at 24 months). OBG MANAGEMENT followed up with a poll for readers to ask, "will you get the [9vHPV] vaccine?" based on the new ASCCP recommendations.
