As Co-Chair of the National HPV Vaccination Roundtable, she develops broad strategies to catalyze a large and diverse group of stakeholders to improve vaccination rates across the country. Dr. Oliver’s research has focused on the evaluation of quality improvement activities to improve immunization rates.
