Cervical Cancer Vaccine

The Gardasil:

"From Monday, Australian parents will have the option to buy the $460 Gardasil vaccine to help prevent their young daughters from developing cervical cancer later in life."

The vaccine was developed in Australia and is recommended for 9-26 year olds. Cervical Cancer kills. It kills so many women each year. To make it private prescription at 460 dollars a pop is unheard of and outrageous. What is the matter with us? We have been waiting for something like this. Breast screening is available for all. Other vaccines are available for all...but one to stop women dying of cervical cancer? No , we'll make a lot of money out of that one, thank you.
