Parental concerns over the number of adverse reactions to the Gardasil vaccine have prompted a special hearing to be held by the FDA on March 12 to address the issue of Gardasil safety.
Gardasil is a vaccine against several strains of HPV (human papilloma virus) that reportedly linked to cervical cancer. Since the drug was released in June of 2006, there have been approximately 16 million doses dispensed. View the Gardasil package information sheet here.

Lauren Mathis was 12 years old, when her life was turned upside down. On April 16, 2008, she received the second in a series of three recommended Gardasil shots.
Her life changed from that of a gifted honor student to one of endless rounds of hospital and doctor visits due to her severe reaction to the Gardasil vaccine.
Her mother was shocked to learn that Lauren’s doctor did not know what the VAERS (vaccine adverse events resporting system) was, much less how to file a report. The medical report for Lauren was only filed after Rosemary discovered how to file a report and submitted one herself.

Family First NZ is welcoming a decision by a South Island high school (Westland High School) to refuse to allow the gardasil vaccine to be administered at the school, and is asking for other schools to make a similar stand.
“Ultimately the decision to vaccinate or not should be made by the parent after having received full and balanced information on its merits,” says Bob McCoskrie, National Director of Family First NZ. “At the moment, students are being proselytized with unbalanced information through their schools or health organizations, and parents are being bullied into an uninformed response.”

Hokitika’s Westland High School has refused to allow an anti-cancer vaccine to be administered on its premises, a move health bosses say is worrying.
Last year, the school’s board of trustees was criticised by the Ministry of Health for publishing an article in the school newsletter on the supposed pitfalls of the Gardasil human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, which aims to protect girls from the age of 12 against cervical cancer.

DEAD SEA, Jordan — Breast cancer continues to rise in Iraq, and scientists have established the Iraqi National Cancer Research Program to better understand the underlying molecular and environmental causes in an effort to curb the incidence of cancer.
“Breast cancer is the most common type of malignancy recorded in the cancer registries of almost all countries within the Eastern Mediterranean Region. In Iraq, the continuous rise in the incidence rate is associated with an obvious trend to affect premenopausal women,” said Nada A.S. Alwan, M.D., Ph.D., director of the National Breast Cancer Research Unit at Baghdad University Medical College and the executive director of the newly established Iraqi National Cancer Research Program.

Whether she is a princess or a demon, it can be a daunting task for a father to know how to raise his daughter, Christchurch-based clinical psychologist Nigel Latta says.
In order to help men who might feel out of their depth, Latta has this week released a book called Fathers Raising Daughters.
Part of the reason for writing the book was because it was becoming more and more common for fathers to have sole responsibility for their children

Call to shelve vaccine over adverse reactions
The Timaru Herald
Girls given the Gardasil HPV vaccine are at least 16 times more likely to have a serious adverse reaction to it than to develop terminal cervical cancer, which critics say raise doubts about the increasingly controversial vaccine.
Information released under the Official Information Act shows the death rate for cervical cancer between 2002 and 2005 was 1.95 deaths per 100,000 women. This compares with 31 serious adverse reactions for the 90,000 girls who have been vaccinated with Gardasil so far.

Should you expose your young daughter to potential risks from a vaccine that protects against cervical cancer, a disease that she may get 20 to 40 years from now?
That’s a question millions of parents face as television ads push for girls to receive Gardasil, a vaccine that prevents infection from four types of human papillomavirus (HPV), the most common sexually transmitted virus in the United States. Those four types cause most cases of cervical cancer and genital warts.
