Yahoo! reported on a new vaccine that holds strong promise against the virus leading to cervical cancer - and it is more effective when administered between the ages of 10-14 than in the late teens and early 20s.  Researchers are very excited about this because it means that girls can be protected long before they run the risk of catching the sexually transmitted virus. 

This is very exciting news for our young daughters, because there is a possibility of preventing the second most common fatal cancer in women.  Hopefully our friends at Glaxo and Merck will continue researching, and our girls may have one less illness to worry about.
