I had a nice long reply to the parent but their post got flagged before I finished it. But there's no meaningful link between the HPV vaccines and infertility as best as any study could find. Here's the WHO's view [0] (emphasis mine):
> The details of the studies were reported to the Committee, which reviewed the evidence in the 9 articles (case reports, passive surveillance and epidemiological studies) and concluded that, although the safety of HPV vaccine has received considerable media attention, the evidence does not suggest a causal relationship between HPV vaccination and infertility.
