You can take the vaccine.
It will not affect your immunity.

If you are talking about the cervical cancer vaccine, then yes it is advisable to take it. It won't reduce your immunity.
Gardasil 4 will protect against 4 high risk viral strains (gives 70% protection) and Gardasil 9 will protect against 9 high risk strains (90% protection). Both of them are given as a 3 dose schedule in your age group: at 0, 1 and 6 months.
Gardasil 9 is more expensive than Gardasil 4 but it is more effective as it gives protection against more strains.
Health Tips
Even after vaccination you must do regular screening with Pap smear every 3 years.
