Merck's Durham NC Facility Will Lay Off ~150 Positions: Largely A Result Of The Ongoing Global Gardasil® Sales Slump...


Well, this would confirm that Gardasil® sales will remain soft, for well-over the next 18 months.

Here's Bloomberg [$$ subs. req.], on that bit:

. . .Merck is cutting staff at a US plant that makes its HPV vaccine Gardasil amid a decrease in global demand for the cancer-preventing shot.

Roughly 150 people at a Merck vaccine manufacturing facility that makes Gardasil in Durham, North Carolina, will be impacted by the cuts, according to a filing in the state’s database this week. . . .


Now you know -- and yep, more power alley stuff. We have theater tickets in the City, for Saturday night, and then another set (experimental) -- at a Sunday aft. matinee. . . [will be all drama-ed-out. . . by then!] Heh.
