Gardasil is a vaccine manufactured by Merck & Company and licensed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for girls and women nine to twenty-six years of age for the prevention of cervical cancer.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended that three doses of Gardasil for universal use in girls eleven to twelve years of age be routinely administered by pediatricians, obstetrician/gynecologists and family physicians.

Since the middle of 2009, more than twenty-five million doses of Gardasil have been distributed across the United States with over fourteen-thousand reports of adverse side effects. Some commonly reported side effects include, fainting, blood clots, seizures, paralysis, extreme fatigue, hair loss, pelvic and stomach pain and even death.

There have been forty-three Gardasil-related deaths and pregnant women who have taken Gardasil have experienced fetal abnormalities and spontaneous abortions.

The pharmaceutical manufacturer is legally responsible for ensuring the delivery of a safe product to the consumer. The failure to do so is negligence and grounds for personal injury lawsuits.
