Merck’s Gardasil is a potent vaccine against HPV, a sexually transmitted disease that can cause cervical cancer. But until recently, cost and production constraints limited its reach. Merck has now committed more than $1 billion to expand capacity, with a focus on underserved countries. Merck more than doubled global supply of Gardasil between 2017 and 2020 and is on track to do so again by 2023.
