Cervical cancer has been reportedly growing and in fact, 1 out of 4 girl teens are now getting Cervical Cancer shots to avoid the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus, or HPV.

Thanks to the aggressive campaign as well, the Gardasil vaccine from Merck & Co. protects against strains of the virus that cause about 70 percent of cervical cancers.

So add that awareness together with heavy aggressive advertising and you get a positive response and a significant reason why more teenage girls are making sure they get their shots early.
