The FDA seems set to announce a decision about vaccinating women past age 25 for HPV. A paper in the Annals of Internal Medicine this week indicates that such a strategy wouldn’t be cost-effective. Don’t be put off by “cost-effectiveness” or by the fact that we actually discuss “QALY”s. It’s all good. We’ve got Harvard School of Public Health’s Jane Kim to guide your interviewer through the QALY thicket, and she’s a great guide. Contact us at 1-617-440-4374 or write to jelia@nejm.org.
