Once we stop seeing pediatricians regularly we adults kind of forget to keep our immunizations up to date. I smacked my finger last fall at a Habitat build, had a wound that wouldn't heal, and realized I was not current with tetanus and diptheria.

Usually, public health departments or low-cost health clinics will do immunizations for low prices for the uninsured--sometimes for less than a Dr's office copay is. So, even if you're uninsured, there's no excuse to get the vaccinations!
I got immunized against Hep A/B, Meningitis, and all my boosters on the same day once, as well as the Mantoux skin test.
Not very fun. In a few months, I get to get shots for dengue and yellow fever! Woo hoo!
