Does your daughter need another vaccine?

If Merck & Co. have their way (and they do), girls will be vaccinated with the new cervical cancer vaccine, Gardisil. The Centers for Disease Control added Gardisil to the already existing vaccine regimen for girls and women 9 to 26 years old.

Gardisil is a ready-to-use, three-dose, intramuscular vaccine which should be administered in three separate intramuscular injections in the upper arm or upper thigh over a six-month period. (Yahoo)
