Gardisil provided partial protection.. only addresses 4 out of 20 typed of hpv viruses.

Could be a double edged sword...it could encourage risky sexual behavior or it could provide false reassurance so at risk women skip annual pap smears.

No vaccine should be given without thorough education on what it actually prevents.

HPV test might be better predictor of cervical cancer than Pap smear

Yes, but those strains were responsible for over 70% of cervical cancer cases.
