FDA Approves Cervical Cancer Vaccine
Filed under: add to del.icio.us
The FDA has approved Merck & Co.'s Gardasil, the first vaccine that protects against the cervical cancer-causing human papillomavirus (HPV). An FDA advisory panel had signed off on the vaccine in May, and the National Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will now decide whether to include the vaccine in routine vaccination schedules. Cervical cancer causes an estimated 290,000 deaths worldwide each year.
