Not in the US: No, the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is not approved in the US for woman over the age of 26.

Depends: This would not be a common use.It would not hurt, but may provide little benefit at that age.It doesn't prevent cervical cancer if you have already acquired the strains.It only helps keep you from getting it if given before exposure.Insurers won't cover it when given "off label" or outside the 9-26 age range. At >$200/dose X3 most would balk at the out of pocket expense.
