Score one for the FDA, they didn't approve Gardasil for older women. Now let's keep our fingers crossed that they don't approve it for boys.

a reprive....I wonder what they will do after they get the data they asked for?
I hope they take into consideration that the vaccine can make women who have had HPV more susesptible to cancerous strains of HPV. Most older women have had HPV at some point or another.

Yea I saw that they wanted a 4 year study before they will approve it. Who here thinks that their study will somehow turn out in Merck's favor.
