Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
I don't know exactly (you should ask your doctor), but these are the shots that you should've had in your teens:
-diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (called the Tdap vaccine)
-measles, mumps, rubella (the MMR vaccine)
-hepatitis B
-meningococcal disease (e.g., meningitis)
-human papilloma virus (HPV) (for girls)
-varicella (chickenpox) if you have not had the disease
-polio
When you get caught up on all of your vaccinations, remember that you'll need proof that you've had the immunizations, or had a condition.

Honestly I don't have a clue. I would suggest if someoen does answer this and says they know not to take thier opinion for it because we're not doctors. Getting shots and medicine all depends on the person, not everyone is teh same. So i woudl highly suggest that you call your doctor and they will pull up you chart for you and let you know which ones you should get.
good luck and hope you enjoy your first year of college.
