Gardasil Basics:
Gardasil is a new vaccine being made by Merck & Co., Inc. and which has been approved by the FDA to prevent cervical cancer in females between the ages of 9 and 26 years of age.

What Gardasil Is Used For:
Gardasil is a vaccine against the HPV or Human Papillomavirus. The Gardasil vaccine protects recipients against 4 types of HPV, including the two types that cause most cervical cancers and the two types that cause the most genital warts.

HPV Facts:
HPV is a sexually transmitted disease that causes genital warts, abnormal Pap tests, and cervical cancer.

About 20 million people are infection with HPV in the United States and almost 3,700 women die of cervical cancer in the US each year.
Since many people have no symptoms and not even know that they are infected with HPV, they can pass on their HPV infection to their sexual partners without knowing.
There is no cure for HPV infections.
Gardasil Facts:
Gardasil won't prevent all forms of genital warts or cervical cancers, but it is highly effective at preventing genital warts and cervical cancers that are caused by the types of HPV that the vaccine targets.

Gardasil will be given as a three dose series completed over 6 months.
Who Should Get Gardasil:
Since Gardasil prevents HPV, a sexually transmitted disease, it is important that it be given before people become sexually active. In fact, the ACIP recommends that Gardasil be routinely given to girls when they are 11 or 12 years of age. Gardasil can be started as early as age 9 though, and can also be given to women 13 to 26 years old.

Gardasil Side Effects:
According to the CDC, so far in testing, 'there appear to be no serious side effects. The most common side effect is brief soreness at the injection site.'

Gardasil Controversy:
Some experts think that Gardasil may lead to controversy because some parents will have problems thinking about giving a vaccine against a STD to pre-teens. Other parents might not want a vaccine against a STD at all, believing that their children could not be at risk. And still others think that Gardasil might encourage promiscuity, since it could foster the belief that it protects against STDs.

What You Need To Know:

Gardasil is not a 'STD vaccine' in the sense that it prevents all STDs. It simply provides protection against certain types of HPV, but not other STDs, such as HIV or herpes.
Cervarix is another HPV vaccine that is being developed by GlaxoSmithKline.

You might have noticed recently that the makers of the new HPV vaccine Gardasil really really really want you to try their product. I think the TV commercials are running about every 7.5 seconds. I admit that I tend to be pretty skeptical of the whole women抯 health 搃ndustry

5. There have been no long-term studies done on the effect of the vaccine after 5-10 or more years, and testing on young girls has been extremely limited.




揗erck has tested the cervical cancer vaccine in clinical trials of more than 20,000 women (about half of them got the shot). The health of the subjects was followed for about three and a half years on average. But fewer than 1,200 girls under 16 got the shots, among them only about 100 9-year-olds, Merck officials said, and the younger girls have been followed for only 18 months." [8]


If parents are expected to take their daughters to get a series of expensive immunizations, wouldn抰 it be nice if they had any idea at all about what effects these girls might have to deal with 5 or 10 years down the line?

If you're wondering what the rush was, part of the answer could be patents. When a company's patent on a particular drug expires, that's when generic versions of the drug can be developed and released into the market, which obviously drives the price and the profits of the original drug way down. Merck's patent on the extremely profitable cholesterol drug Zocor expired in June of this year, and Gardasil is one of the new drugs being counted on to bridge Merck's financial gap. According to the FDA, Merck filed an application for a patent extension for Gardasil on December 6th.

6. It is unknown how long the immunity provided by Gardasil actually lasts.



揚ublic health officials want to vaccinate girls early, before they become sexually active, even though it is not known how long the immunity will last.

salah satu risiko cancer cervix ni kalau having sex dengan multiple partners, non hygienic. Kalau dapat jaga yg dua tu tak payah susah2 nak ambik vaccine. Tapi takut juga kalau si husband yg ada multiple partners dan serahkan penyakit kepada isteri.

Orang lelaki pun elok dapatkan vaccine ni kerana kajian diUSA mendapati beberapa jenis cancer di bahagian lidah, tekak boleh disebabkan oleh virus HPV.....

"According to Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data, the annual incidence of base-of-tongue and tonsil cancers in the USA increased by 2.1% and 3.9%, respectively, from 1973 to 2001 among white men and women aged 20-44 years, whereas incidences at other sites declined.[48,49] Similarly, the incidence of tonsillar cancer increased by approximately 2-3% per year among men younger than 60 years from 1975 through 1998.[50] This increase in the incidence of oropharyngeal cancer was paralleled by an increase in certain sexual behaviors. In the US, between the periods 1976-1980 and 1988-1994, herpes simplex-2 seroprevalence, a surrogate marker of sexual activity, increased by 30%.[51] This change in the demographics of patients with head-and-neck cancer is consistent with a role for genital HPVs in the pathogenesis of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in individuals whose sexual practices are typically associated with sexual transmission of the virus. Several studies suggest that oral HPV infection is sexually acquired."
