This is the first cohort of folks that age who were offered the HPV vaccine when they were 12 or 13.

Expect even more dramatic results as that group enters their 30s & 40s.

For what it's worth one of my sisters had the vaccine and started menopause in her late 20s. She found out that she cannot have children and blames the vaccine. I'm not entirely sure what to believe but I definitely think it's possible.
