In USA, there are about 12,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and almost 4,000 women die from this disease in every year (1% or or 1 million people have visible genital warts in the USA.

CDC & FDA stated the vaccine as safe and effective. Studies have found no serious side effects. The most common side effect is soreness in the arm (where the shot is given). There have recently been some reports of fainting in teens after they got the vaccine (phobia to injection).
Other side effects are: diarrhea, nausea, very high fever, signs of an allergic reaction, headaches and appendicitis.
Vaccine receiver will still need regular cervical cancer screening (Pap tests) because the vaccine will NOT protect against all HPV types that cause cervical cancer.
