Gardasil and Cervarix are mostly recommended vaccines against cervical cancer. These two have ability to kill HPC-16 and HPV-18. No vaccine can completely stop the infection but definitely it decreases the risk.
Avoiding multi sex partner:
Multi sex partner is one of the important reasons behind the cervical cancer. Some females keep sexual relationship with many partners.

Weak immune system can invite many diseases. So, always eat healthy food with full of nutrients. Strong immune system can avoid many diseases.
