Abstract

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome is a congenital disorder typified by an underdeveloped female reproductive tract. An exploratory online survey of adults with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome found that many did not recall receiving the human papillomavirus vaccine, and answers to knowledge questions suggested inadequate human papillomavirus counseling. However, recalled vaccine counseling was associated with improved uptake.
