Yes you can take . No contra indication for taking HPV vaccine . Also would recommend Pap smear screening from age 25 . 3 doses are recommended , 0,2 and 6 months .
HPV vaccine protect against cervical cancer , and to an extend from some head and neck cancers . It doesn’t have any role to play in ovarian cancer .
If your mother had been diagnosed and you have family history of cancer , make sure you discuss your family tree history and rule out any genetic syndromes , if any present you may need other prophylactic treatments . You can consult if you have any significant family history of cancer .
