if you'll be too old in a month, you probably can't get it since it's 3 shots over the course of 6 months. you'll be too old for the last 2.
I'm also too old (I was young enough when they first started offering it but I had to work through a needle phobia first!) but can still get the vaccine so long as I pay out of pocket. I know that's not an option for everyone, but for me it was worth it.
My doctor actually said "OMG are you sure its expensive!" and I was like "yes, it might be a bit expensive but I'm pretty sure having cervical cancer will be more expensive!". That shut her right up!
My decision wasn't based on a "possibly getting cheated on" scenario either - my husband and I were both virgins when we got married and I don't think he would ever cheat, so I suppose a lot of people would argue that I don't need the vaccine because I'm not likely to be exposed to HPV. Except that I've read you can actually get HPV from skin-to-skin non-sexual contact, so for me, its totally worth it.
I figure if I didn't do it and ended up with cervical cancer later, I would always wonder and kick myself.
Wow. That got long. Sorry!
Make sure you do all your research about the pros and con of the vaccine before signing up for the shots.
As a cancer survivor (not cervical) I would not let my daughter (if I had one) get the shot. I have also discussed this with both my sil's and neither of my neices will be getting the shots either.
As we all know there are only two absolutes in life - you are born and you will die. All other guarantees come with caveats. Make sure you know what they are!
My 2 cents worth 
I'm definitely too old, but I'm also not sold on the idea entirely. The vaccine's so new, and we all know how quick the FDA is to approve things that end up doing something horrible twenty years down the road. I know at least one mom who advised her daughter to not get it on the basis that no one knows if there's a side effect of the vaccine that's worse than the risk of not getting it. On the other hand, many feel that the risk of cancer outweighs the risk of side effects. I can see the logic in either arguement and respect them both, but I personally probably wouldn't get it if I was eligible.
My daughter, who works for a different pharma, got this and paid for it herself out of pocket. I'm still considering. I am way over the limit and would have to pay myself, but cancer of various kinds runs in the family.
My daughter's doctor doesn't give it til girls are 11, or my 9-year-old would have had it by now. I'd have had it but I'm too old.
