Female participants also reported on HPV vaccine utilisation. Multinomial logistic regression was used to explore the factors associated with vaccine utilisation.\n\n\nResults\nIn the project sample, 16.7% of males and 14.7% of females had received the influenza vaccine each year. The lowest rates of influenza vaccination were reported by African/Middle Eastern/Latin American youth (8.3%), Indigenous youth (10.8%), and youth > 18 years (12.6%). For the HPV vaccine, 61.1% of females reported having received all doses, while 21.9% were unvaccinated. Rates of HPV vaccine utilisation were lowest among females of Asian origin, females aged 18–23 years, and females residing in Canada for < 5 years.\n\n\nDiscussion\nObserved associations between age, ethnicity, and vaccine utilisation in this study highlight potential barriers and warrant further research to inform policymaking.\n\n"]
