I think all women should take it. The vaccine doesn't prevent against cervical cancer, but against strains of HPV which are considered to be one of the main causes of cervical cancer. Even if you already have HPV, you will probably only have caught one particular strain, and the vaccine will protect you against others. Some strains of HPV are unrelated to cervical cancer. So in a sense if you have harmless strain of HPV, you can get the vaccine and still be safe from getting the other, cancer-related strains.
I think the vaccine is a good thing and women everywhere should get it.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
