DNP Student Schlottmann Publishes Op-Ed on Cincinnati.com

DNP student Haley Schlottmann recently published an opinion editorial entitled "Opinion: Why aren't we using vaccine that can ward off cancer?" on Cincinnati.com.
Walking into exam rooms of patients and families, my job as a family nurse practitioner often comes to discussing the topic of vaccination. Because I predominantly work with children, immunizations and check-ups are a part of my gig. Just like every child is unique, each set of parents have their own unique questions and beliefs about immunizations. What is not unique is that we all want to do right by our kids and do what is in their best interest. So why aren’t all kids being vaccinated against the human papillomavirus (HPV)?
