three-vaccine combination. The first would be the Tdap vaccine which protects against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis. The next two doses protect against tetanus and diphtheria, respectively.
Those who should not receive the Td vaccine include:
– Anyone who has had a life-threatening allergic reaction after previous tetanus or diphtheria vaccine dose (please consult a medical professional about any allergies before scheduling a Td vaccine)
– Anyone who has had severe pain or swelling after a tetanus or diphtheria vaccine
– Anyone who suffers from seizures or other nervous system problems

Hepatitis A and B are both diseases that cause inflammation of the liver. Typically, you will have the option to get two separate vaccines or a combination vaccine that protects against Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B. The following people are at a higher risk of developing vaccine side effects:
– Anyone who has had a severe allergic reaction to any vaccine components
– Anyone who has had a severe allergic reaction to a previous dose of the hepatitis A or B vaccine
– Anyone who is moderately or severely ill
– Women who are pregnant
– Anyone who is severely allergic to yeast

HPV-Gardasil (human papillomavirus)
HPV gets passed from one person to another during skin-to-skin contact with an infected part of the body. It can be spread through sexual contact. You cannot get HPV from toilet seats, swimming pools, or sharing food. But almost everyone who is not vaccinated will get HPV at some time in their lives.
People who should not have the HPV vaccine are:
– People with a yeast allergy
– Pregnant women: however research has shown no significant effect on you or your baby if you have the vaccine and later find out you are pregnant
– People with a bleeding disorder: they should talk to their doctor before having any vaccine
– People with previous anaphylaxis (serious allergy) to a previous dose of the vaccine or any of the vaccine ingredients.
Other common vaccines include:
-MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, and rubella)
-Polio vaccine
-Rabies vaccine
-Shingles vaccine
