If you were born in the US and followed routing preventive care guidelines you would have received several doses of the oral polio vaccine used during those years. The vulnerable period for meningitis is considered the teen and college years. While it would not hurt to get one, your age group is not considered at risk. For now, you should be okay. When older, consider the Prevnar and Shingrix

Most likely you have had the polio vaccination. A COVID vaccination booster is recommended if you have had two vaccinations.
