Past HPV vaccination provides you with some protection from the strains in the vaccine. By the time the wart re-emerged, you had been exposed long enough to either develop them if you were going to or have shown you were immune. The warts can be removed with freezing/laser or chemicals if desired. I wouldn't spend time worrying about it. If you get them they can be removed, but I doubt you will.

You are not at risk of getting warts. Your husband may consider getting treated. Visit this site for information and talk to your doctor: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/genital-warts/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20355240
