Gardasil is a vaccine that is designed to protect against several strains of human papilloma virus that have been linked to cervical cancer. That does not necessarily mean these strains cause cervical cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society, cervical cancer rates dropped by by 74% between 1955 and 1992, primarily due to more aggressive screening.

When Marian Greene’s daughter, Holly Runstrom, 18, fell seriously ill nearly two years ago, there wasn’t a doctor or a test that could tell them what was wrong.”I would sit there literally 20 hours a day, unless we were at the doctor’s office, and research and research,” Greene said.

More high-risk cases of human papilloma virus (HPV) — that causes cervical cancer — can be detected by offering home-testing kits to women who do not come forward for cervical screening, reported the British Medical Journal Online on Friday. While screening and vaccination in developed countries have reduced cases of death from cervical cancer, it continues to be the number one cancer among women in India with 1.32 lakh new cases every year. Of the 2.7 lakh cervical cancer deaths each around the world in 2008, 74,118 occurred in India.

A guest post from the Immunisation Advisory Centre, following recent reports in the press questioning the safety of the Gardasil vaccine.
Recently we have seen more examples of vaccine safety surveillance data being misinterpreted by both members of the public and the media. This misinterpretation of adverse events following immunisation (AEFI) data can perpetuate fear and confusion in our communities. Sensible safety surveillance data has been presented in a manner that claims the HPV vaccine Gardasil is the cause of many serious, adverse ‘reactions’. This is false.

The Ministry of Health says a West Coast school is within its rights to prevent girls receiving the HPV shot on its premises.
Hokitika’s Westland High School board has refused to allow the Gardasil HPV vaccine, to protect girls from cervical cancer, to be administered on its grounds. It will not say why, but last year published information highlighting the risks.

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.

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.
