Merck suspends lobbying for Gardasil
This is old news by now but I wanted to comment. Merck has decided to suspend for now it efforts to lobby states to require Gardasil vaccinations for girls.
Merck suspends lobbying for vaccine - Yahoo! News:
The main reason Merck was pushing so hard to is because GlaxoSmithKline also has an HPV vaccine in late stage trials which will likely be filed later this year. They are certainly trying to take advantage of being the only cancer vaccine on the market right now. I don’t blame them for that but do think the discussion over their tactics was overshadowing the main discussion of protecting young women from HPV which can lead to cervical cancer.
