More information at: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/5370504.stm I am not aware of data in its use in immuncompromised patients. With all vaccines it is best to discuss with your doctor if such a vaccine is best for you. In general if a vaccine is not contraindicated for a person with a particular condition it is given at the recommend dosages and schedule. If there is question of its immunigenicity than testing can be done after the series is completed to assess effectiveness. An excellent resource for immunization questions not answered by usual information is to go directly to the experts from the CDC - National Immunization Program. They can be reached by email at NIPINFO@cdc.gov or 1-800-CDC-INFO. EU has approved Gardasil. More information at: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/5370504.stm
