1. Tetanus Immunization: Tetanus is an acute, often fatal, disease that is caused by the poison of a certain bacteria. The bacteria usually enter the body through a small cut or other open wound. Stiff muscles and convulsive spasms are characteristic. The stiffness often begins in the jaw (lockjaw) and neck.
2. Hepatitis B Immunization: Hepatitis B is a serious disease that can cause short-term illness with symptoms of tiredness, loss of appetite, diarrhea and vomiting, jaundice (yellow skin or eyes), and pain in muscles, joints and the stomach. It can also cause long-term illness leading to liver damage (cirrhosis), liver cancer, and death.
3. Influenza Vaccination (also called Flu Shot): “Flu” is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness and, for some at risk, can lead to death. The best way to prevent the flu is by getting an annual flu vaccination in the fall. Every year in the United States, on average:
   1. 5% to 20% of the population gets the flu;
   2. More than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu complications, and;
   3. About 36,000 people die from the flu.
4. Pneumococcal disease kills more people in the United Stated each year than all other vaccine-preventable diseases combined. Pneumococcal disease can lead to serious infections of the lungs (pneumonia), the blood (bacteremia), and the covering of the brain (meningitis).
   
   Anyone can get the disease, however some people are at greater risk. These include people 65 and older, the very young, and people with special health problems such as alcoholism, heart or lung disease, kidney failure, diabetes, HIV infection, or certain types of cancer.
