Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Prevalence of postpartum women who agree to HPV vaccination
Percentage of women who accept HPV vaccination when offered in the inpatient postpartum setting
Day 1
Perception of HPV vaccination
Perception of HPV vaccination as measured via Likert scale questions in pre- and post survey. The investigators use a 5-point Likert scale, where '1' means 'strongly disagree', '2' means somewhat disagree, '3' means neither agree or disagree, '4' means somewhat agree, and '5' means 'strongly agree'. The higher the score, the more favorable the outcome.
Day 8
Satisfaction to receive the HPV vaccine
Patient satisfaction with her decision to receive (or not receive) the HPV vaccine as measured via Likert scale questions in pre and post survey. The investigators use a 5-point Likert scale, where '1' means 'strongly disagree', '2' means somewhat disagree, '3' means neither agree or disagree, '4' means somewhat agree, and '5' means 'strongly agree'. The higher the score, the more favorable the outcome.
Day 8
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Perception of vaccines in general

Interventions
After consent, participants will complete an intake survey confirming eligibility. Participants will also complete a survey asking about knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs around vaccination, including HPV vaccination, as well as breastfeeding intentions. After survey completion, the participant will be asked if they would like to be administered the HPV vaccine, Gardasil 9. If participants do not agree, they will be contacted 1-week later for the follow-up survey. If participants do agree, the project coordinator will notify the study physician, who will place an order for the vaccine. The vaccine will be administered to the patient prior to discharge from the hospital. Participants will be contacted 1-week later for the follow-up survey.
