I remember reading that the vaccine isn't recommended for women after a certain age because scientists haven't done enough studies to know how safe it is in an older woman's body. I have no idea why no one has bothered to do these studies, because yes, we middle-aged women can contract HPV too. (Maybe they assume we're all happily married and monogamous or else in a convent.....)
