I work in labor and delivery, and one of the OBs I work with said he thinks everyone should get it. HPV is very common, and this vaccine protects against 4 different types of the virus.
Unfortunately, at this time, he also tells me that insurance is only covering this vaccine for women under age 26. It's estimated to cost from $360-$500. Really, a small price to pay to avoid cervical cancer.

Of course! However, 98% of all sexually active females will be exposed to HPV at least once in their life, and many of them will never even know it. It rarely comes up on a pap test, unless it turns into pre-cancerous or cancerous cells. If you have HPV, it can become a cumbersome part of your life... Therefore, I would definitely suggest a vaccination if you aren't already exposed.
