Hallow Mumma,
As per CDC guidelines, inactivated virus or bacterial HPV vaccine can be given during pregnancy.

Risk to a developing foetus from vaccination of the mother during pregnancy is theoretical. No evidence exists of risk to the foetus from vaccinating pregnant women with inactivated virus or bacterial vaccines or toxoids.

Live vaccines administered to a pregnant woman pose a theoretical risk to the foetus; therefore, live, attenuated virus and live bacterial vaccines generally are contraindicated during pregnancy.

Benefits of vaccinating pregnant women usually outweigh potential risks when the likelihood of disease exposure is high, when infection would pose a risk to the mother or foetus, and when the vaccine is unlikely to cause harm.

I hope this answers your query.
