HPV: This vaccine provides good protection against strains of HPV most commonly associated with causation of malignancies. Oral cancer in teenage girls in USA would be very very uncommon, and the vaccine should protect you from most strains likely to produce cancer. Good luck and best wishes.

Just 3: Three of the shots are all you need. Uncommon for oral & cervical cancer from HPV at your age. The shot prevents the 2 most common HPV serotypes that cause cancer, but not all of them.
