You are correct in the annual exam and PAP smear being the best defense against cervical cancer. There are four forms of HPV that are statistically linked to later cervical cancer at a high level of confidence. Gardasil protects against those four strains and is a good protection against much cervical cancer.
You still need the annual PAP at whatever the target age in your particular health care system. I cheat and perform them younger than the limits in the UK NHS.
