Yes: It will protect you against four very common types of hpv. It will protect against type 6 and 11 which cause genital warts and type 16 and 18 which cause cervical cancer.

HPV vaccine: It will protect against cancers caused by hpv 16 or 18. There is also some cross coverage of other viral strains. The quadrivalent vaccine also protects against the wart causing strains 6 and 11.
