Meet the surgical oncologist or gynecologist for clarification. Better late than never. Vaccination can be taken and it will have the protective effect and helps in reducing the severity also

The HPV vaccine is routinely recommended for girls and boys ages 11 or 12, although it can be given as early as age 9. It's ideal for girls and boys to receive the vaccine before they have sexual contact and are exposed to HPV. Once someone is infected with HPV, the vaccine might not be as effective or might not work at all. Also, response to the vaccine is better at younger ages than it is at older ages. At your age, vaccination can be taken but efficacy of the vaccine may be lower
