Immunizations: The vaccines you received should provide good coverage for their respectives diseases; however; should be aware that sometimes even after vaccination you can still get sick and also for some vaccine you will need a booster dose for continued protection.

Complicated: Once you are at a certain age Meningococcal vaccine is only administered to at-risk people. A blood test can be performed to quantify the level of protective circulating antibody to hepb easily and if they are present at a high enough level, you may not beed a booster.
