To cover every significant milestone in medicine and health that has gone down in 2006 would take a multi-page treatise. Instead, we will try to cover THE BIG PICTURE, deal with some anomalies, and throw in a little commentary when (at least by our definition) appropriate.
Medical breakthroughs happen on a daily basis, and the U.S. is certainly among the world leaders in advancing medical research and technology. But we’re not going to deal with the high-tech stuff, for while it’s great

What about the HPV Vaccine? Let’s not forget that the HPV vaccine – one of the few vaccines that can prevent cancer – became available this year as well. It is recommended for girls and women between the ages of 11 and 26, and will help slow the 10,000 new cases of cervical cancer each year in the United States.
