Yeah, I got the prescription too, but I'm not getting it unless I get a favorable second opinion.

I've heard that Merck is really pushing states to require it--because if there's ever a recall or problems with it, the fact that it would be governmentally mandated would relieve Merck of any liability. Cervical cancer isn't a major health issue here as it is in developing nations--where it's the cancer with the highest mortality rate. Also, the cervical cancer rate has been declining so much. So, I don't understand why this is such a major deal with states.

On the Gardasil fact sheet my doctor gave me, they said that there would be more research done on women over 27 and men.
