there is no vaccine for any kind of cancer, especially not breast cancer. there is a vaccine that protects against certain types of the human papilloma virus (which CAN cause cervical cancer) but thats it. not every type of HPV causes cervical cancer and there is NO vaccine for cancer itself, only the VIRUS that causes HPV. It's called Gardasil. as far as preventing breast cancer, yearly mammograms and monthly self exams are the only way.

Do regular mammogram and breast ultrasound. You have a family history of breast cancer. There is no particular vaccine available for breast cancer. Don't bother about that.

You should learn how to do monthly self breast exams, and get an annual check up with your gynecologist. When you are older you should get regular mammograms. Early detection is key.
