If you r asking for yourself (age-36) then its useless. It should be taken before you become sexually active.
Doctors stop recommending the HPV vaccine to women once they've reached their mid-20s. The human papillomavirus vaccine is FDA-approved only through age 26, with the thinking that by that time women (and men) have had enough sex that they're probably already exposed to the virus and won't benefit.
However you should annually get your PAP smear done.
