I don't know if I've taken the HPV vaccine and I can't find any record of it. Supposedly I took it before but I want to take again to make sure I don't get cervical cancer, is it ok to do that?

It's not one of those "routine" vaccines that people get as children. We started using it after 2006 (you should remember whether you had it after the age of 17, since you are 24 now). It's 3 shots, and you have to pay for it out of your pocket (a little expensive - shots are months apart)...
I hope this refresh your memory.
If not, there is no harm in getting it again.
