In September 2008, the Advisory Board recommended, and AHD later approved, eight organizations and institutions as the first recipients of GARDASIL through this donation program. Over 195,000 doses of GARDASIL were approved for donation to these eight applicants based in Bolivia, Cambodia, Ghana, Haiti, India, Lesotho, Nepal and Nicaragua. The first shipments of donated GARDASIL were sent to Bolivia, Cambodia, and Lesotho during the first half of 2009.
