3) Pertussis [Whooping cough] vax. If you got usual childhood vax [I did!] you likely got "DPT". "P" stands for "Pertussis": whooping cough. aka "100 day cough". Pertussis vax can lose efficacy. Who knew? I didn't: and got it from a patient. My vax wore off. 0/10 do *not* recommend whooping cough.

4) Shingles vaccine. Shingles is reactivated chicken pox (varicella). Those who had cp are at risk of shingles: can come out when we're immunocompromised. Shingles is miserable *and* can have permanent consequences. This vax is two successive shots. Brief flu like sx may follow: shingles is worse.
