Hi no vaccine gives 100 % protection. You can take varicella vaccine but it is a 2 dose vaccine given one month apart. You will get protection only after the second dose.

HPV vaccine is not yet recommended for boys in our country. It is practiced in Australia, where it has been found to reduce the incidence of HPV-related STD, warts, cancer in men and women. In India HPV vaccine is available for girls. But if you agree, you can take it.

Technology used in production is different. But for primary vaccination IAP advises vaccines which cause little more pain and fever. These vaccines are slightly better for development of immunity.

Better not to give. Better to give either on the same day or 4 weeks apart for the maximal effect.

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.
