All girls/women should be vaccinated against HPV ideally between ages of 12 to 26 years as that is age at which maximum protection can be gained.
Next Steps
Ideally you should recieve vaccine before onset of sexual activity but there is absolutely no harm in taking one now as you may still be unexposed. So go ahead with the vaccine
Health Tips
Taking vaccine doesn't protection you from every single HPV type so be sure to start regular cervical cancer screening
