Australian developed cancer vaccine Gardasil won't be made available to older women in the United States.
THE CSL-developed cervical cancer vaccine, Gardasil, has suffered a significant set back in the US after regulators declined to approve its use in older women.
Pharmaceutical giant Merck, which markets Gardasil outside of Australia, announced overnight the US Food and Drug Administration had declined to approve the vaccine for use in women aged 27 and over.
The Australian-developed vaccine helps prevent cervical cancer in women, by vaccinating them against the major strains of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), which are believed to cause most cases of the deadly cancer.
According to a brief statement released by Merck overnight, the US FDA knocked back its application to extend the use of the vaccine on the grounds there isn’t enough evidence to show that Gardasil prevents HPV related cervical cancer in women older than 26, Merck said.
Merck had been counting on the approval to expand Gardasil sales in the US. Like most vaccines, sales of Gardasil dropped off after the first wave of vaccination programmes following its approval.

........................'Then This'!.........................
EVERY secondary school boy could soon be offered a free jab to vaccinate them against a sexually transmitted disease that causes cancer.
The makers of the Brisbane-developed cervical cancer vaccine Gardasil have asked the Federal Government to extend the highly successful mass immunisation scheme to boys.
Since 2007, millions of young Queensland women have received the vaccine, invented by former Australian of the Year Professor Ian Frazer.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration last week approved Gardasil for use on males up to the age of 26.
It is the first step towards a government-funded vaccine rollout for 12 and 13-year-old boys.
The vaccine maker, CSL, has filed an application for the vaccine to be funded for adolescent boys under the National Immunisation Program as a "universal gender neutral program".
