Hello, this is my first posting to the group. I understand the UK Government have now decided to switch to Gardasil for the HPV Immunisation programme from September 2012. Seems rather odd when they originally touted Cervarix as the cheaper option since 2008 and sheiding the general public from the outcry in the US following thousands of serious adverse reactions from Gardasil.
Does anyone know why the change in policy? I fear that my daughter and I will have to go through all this again when her school starts to push the Gardasil vaccine (and no...she has not had the Cervarix jab)
Napoleon once said: "There are two ways of moving men--interest or fear". Probably the most effective way of cajoling the public into submitting to vaccination is the employment of 'scare tactics'.
