When Merck first starting airing all of the “One Less” commercials, Gardasil was being advertised as a cervical cancer vaccine. In fact, those were the exact words a nurse used to get my daughter to take the vaccine. She told her, “You are going off to college soon, don’t you want to be protected against cervical cancer?” We then inquired about side effects and were given the “official” information sheet, and the side effects listed were: bruising, redness and or swelling at injection site, and the possibility of a low grade fever.
