Medical societies' recommendations for immunization with HPV and disclosure of conflicts of interest

"One of the Canadian documents did not include any conflict of interest statement, although Merck and GSK are listed among the sponsors.

CONCLUSIONS: Disclosure of conflicts of interest in documents where medical societies issue recommendations on HPV vaccination is very unusual. However, lack of disclosure is more frequent (near twice) when recommendations are in favour of the vaccination."
