FDA approves Gardasil to prevent vulvar and vaginal cancers.
USA Today (9/12, Szabo) reported, "The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Friday approved Merck's Gardasil (human papillomavirus vaccine)...to prevent vulvar and vaginal cancers." The agency first approved Gardasil in 2006 for the prevention of cervical cancer in girls and women ages nine to 26. Researchers, in order "to test the vaccine against vaginal and vulvar cancers...followed more than 15,000 women from its earlier cervical cancer studies for an additional two years."

        According to the AP (9/12), "In the group that did not get the vaccine, 10 women developed precancerous vulvar lesions, and nine developed similar vaginal lesions because of HPV infection. No women in the Gardasil group developed such lesions." The treatment "works by protecting against strains of the human papillomavirus, or HPV, that cause about 70 percent of cervical cancers. The HPV virus, transmitted by sexual contact, causes genital warts that sometimes develop into cancer."

        Bloomberg News (9/13, Pettypiece) noted that "the FDA also added new information to Gardasil's prescribing information about reports of deaths and illnesses among those getting the shot." The additional "prescribing information for Gardasil includes reports of deaths, seizures, autoimmune disorders, and paralysis in patients given the vaccine." Still, "it doesn't say there was a link between those events and the vaccine." In July, "the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said...that Gardasil was safe after reporting that 20 people had died following the injection." The FDA and the CDC "said the deaths could be unrelated and no additional precautions were needed."

        Dow Jones Newswires (9/12, Favole), WebMD (9/12, Hitti), Medscape (9/13, Barclay), and AHN (9/13, Kalambakal) also covered the story.
