Q: are oral/ throat warts common in healthy young adults? i got the shot when i was little to prevent oral and genital cancer.

Oral warts...: ...are rare. It&#x27;s good you were vaccinated against HPV. Now you needn&#x27;t worry: you are well protected against most of the HPV types that cause cancer, including the one type (HPV16) that causes almost all HPV-related throat cancers.
