Second reminder about vaccination prompted by my most recent MMR thread: several people have mentioned their doctors have never told them the DPT (diphtheria, pertussis/whooping cough, tetanus) shot is NOT a lifetime shot. You need boosters every 10 years.
One good thing about living in TX: the cvs app can query the immunization database and notice that you're overdue for DPT. (I discovered yesterday when I was scheduling a hepatitis B shot for myself that 1) I was not, in fact, too old for the HPV vaccine and 2) it could do this and then inform me)
Up to age 45 according to the CDC ( www.cdc.gov/hpv/hcp/sche... ) but many doctors will do it after because even if you have one of the strains of HPV there is still benefit to being immunized against the others. Insurance just won't pay for it if you're over 45
