The safety and effectiveness of the HPV vaccine Gardasil as a preventive cervical cancer treatment for girls are questioned in a report. Sandra Levy wants to do everything she can to safeguard the health of her 11-year-old daughter -- and that, of course, includes cancer prevention. She has had her child inoculated with one shot of Gardasil, the human papilloma virus vaccine that may prevent cervical cancer.
