You're close to the age group (mine) for which the mumps vaccine (the second M in MMR) didn't exist yet and sometime in the 60s we were treated to ineffective rubella vaccines. I'm speaking as someone who just had to get a tons of vaccines over the course of 2007 for a hospital internship. The good news about the tetanus shot is that you can now get one that includes a vaccine against pertussis (whooping cough) it's called the TDAP (tetanus, diptheria and pertussis). A college environment is a great place to pick up viruses, probably even better than a hospital. I know there are people out there who are anti-vaccine, but I'd no sooner go to work unvaccinated than I'd go without my pants.

You'd go in for something like a scratch on your leg or a flu and they'd ask when your last period was and if you were on the pill! Your post reminds me that I really ought to get around to tracking down a new doctor and getting my old records forwarded to her. It's been awhile.

And just in case your cholesterol is high, when mine was just barely above normal with the statin, my primary told me to take fish oil capsules and my lipid panels have been really great since.
