Sequenom's delay

May 4, 2009

UPDATE 2-Sequenom delays Down Syndrome test; shares plunge | uk.reuters.com

This delay is not good for the company, especially since there are already tests in place that are effective to screen for Down's syndrome.  These tests now are the standard of care, so the longer it takes for Sequenon to launch it's test the worse, for the company.

HPV vaccine- Gardasil (Merek) - Who will cover the cost?

Texas governor orders anti-cancer vaccine for schoolgirls | www.usatoday.com

Michigan was one of the first states to have a law that would require a girl age 11-12 to undergo vaccine with Gardasil.  As a practicing generalist I am finding it very difficult to obtain coverage from the insurance companies to cover the cost of the three vaccine injections.  The real question is not should an 11-12 yr old female obtain the vaccine to prevent cervical cancer but who will be able to pick up the cost for this very important vaccine especially the uninsured.
