Yes, vaccines are available for cervical cancer, but are approved only for young girls. They act by reducing the chances of one acquiring viral infections which predispose a person to a particular type of cancer. Similar vaccine is also available for liver cancer because of Hepatitis B infection

There is not much documented role of vaccines in Cancer treatment. HPV vaccination approved for young females from cervical cancer but that also doesn't cover all strains of HPV, so screening should continue still.
