I'm all for vaccines but what I'm hearing isn't great? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2908963/Judges-demand-answers-children-die-controversial-cancer-vaccine-trial-India.html My short (personal) answer is that, no, I'm not concerned about the side effect profile of gardasil (or in general, any registered vaccine). My long answer is that without access to the core safety information for the product (noting that the trial in question was of gardasil 9, not the original 4-strain vaccine) then it isn't possible to make an informed judgement about the safety of the vaccine. Whilst such information is proprietary and is therefore not available in the public domain, it must be submitted to the ethics committees that oversee trials and also to any regulatory agency that is assessing the drug. More concerning to me, from that article, is that the trial was not conducted in accordance with Good Clinical Practice, the internationally recognised standard for clinical trials. It seems that the court case centres on failure to obtain informed consent, and perform adequate follow-up, not that there are safety issues with the product. Good quality clinical trial data are required in order to adequately assess the safety and efficacy of new drugs, but this should never be at the expense of vulnerable populations. While it would be tempting to blame this on the 'global pharma' machine, this was apparently an academic study. The mind boggles!!

hi Ladies i recently inquired about this at Healthbay and these are the prices i was given (although not sure if its different price for adults) Gardasil AED 710 (and you need 2 doses) Cervarix - AED 715 (also 2 doses required) so i guess you're looking at about 1400 without consultation fees, but i think you pay in 2 payments since you do it like a month apart i haven't had it done yet though, so not 100% sure on the payment process for it. But i would guess you pay as you have the doses sorry, was a few weeks ago when i got this info and they just printed the prices for me..... as sarahlou123 mentioned above, i think its 3 doses not 2 as i stated above. so i guess that's over 2k for the 3 doses then

Did anyone vaccinate their girls for that ? Where and which one ? There r 2 kinds one for 4 viruses and one for 2 . How much dud it coast here ? My friends Daughter had Cervarix done at the American Hospital She cannot remember how much it cost but when they offered it me back in 2007 ( I was in my mid 30's) it was around AED120 so I imagine it has gone up significantly by now Give them a call and they should be able to quote you a price Here is the difference between the two There are two vaccinations available in the UAE, the first is Gardasil, which will protect you from strains 6, 11, 16 and 18 – , 6 and 11 are linked to genital warts, and 16 and 18 are two strains that can give you cervical cancer. The other vaccination available in the UAE is Cervarix, which is for 16, 18, 31 and 45, so it does not cover genital wart strains. The difference between these two vaccinations is firstly that Gardasil is only effective from the age of nine up to 26, whereas Cervarix can be given from the age of 10 up to the age of 55. Both vaccinations are given in three separate injected doses. The first can be given anytime, the second one is a month later, and the third is four months later. Just a quick, minor, correction to this info regarding the age ranges recommended: it's not actually that gardasil itself is ineffective beyond age 26 (or cervarix past 55), it's that by age 26 the probability that someone has been exposed to at least one or more HPV strain is quite high, therefore there's sort of no point getting immunised. If you have never been exposed, then the vaccine is effective. As Sarahlou123 mentioned, 70% of cervical cancers are linked to strains 16 and 18 (cancer.gov), and genital warts to 6 and 11, but the strains covered by the vaccines are the 'high risk' ones associated with various cancers. 31 and 45 have a much lower proportion of HPV infections and cause fewer cancers ([url='>http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/85/9/06-038414/en/[/url'>) I had gardasil whilst I was at university because it came on the market in Australia first and there was a national campaign for free immunisation. Given the choice over I would probably still get gardasil rather than cervarix because it covers warts, and because the additional cancer-causing strains covered by cervarix are so much rarer.
