Highlights
:: In Germany, HPV vaccination coverage remains below 50%.
:: Administrative data were successfully used to estimate HPV vaccine uptake.
:: Adolescent health check-up J1 was associated with increased HPV vaccine uptake.
:: However, only 50% of adolescent females utilized J1.
:: Intensified promotion of check-up J1 is likely to also improve HPV vaccine uptake.
