Woah, are you not worried about that? Do you not plan to get them done? If you've had 0 vaccinations, then you've missed out on tons...

i'm homoeopathic (not out of choice though parents brought me up like it) so that's all against me having them anyway, but i've always been fine without them personally. whether or not i'll get them in the future once i've moved out off to uni though i dunno since i'm definitely ditching that stuff

Personally I think the benefit of not catching measles/mumps/meningitis/tetanus/diphtheria/polio/whooping cough etc. outweighs that benefit :P

Yeah it makes your immune system stronger against colds etc.. but it's never gonna be strong enough to fight against whooping cough, polio, mumps, etc on its own!! Go and get punctured.. fast!

already had whooping cough when i was young anyway so i'm fine on that one :P unfortunately i wouldn't be allowed to anyway until I move out anyway though

I did every year while I worked at a medical centre and in the years before as it was free but now I've quit and the rules have changed and I have to pay quite a bit so I don't bother, poor student :P

I got it last year because I was in year 12 and my mum didn't want me to get sick and do badly. I had it the year before that too.

Not sure, I didn't even know there was a flu shot for the young?
