I would imagine that you got shots for some of those, and not for *all*
of those.
The standard childhood package in Italy in my generation had Diphtheria,
Polio and Tetanus, and later generations may have had more comprehensive
firmware updates. By personal intiative some more things from the list
above over the years.
I currently have no coverage for Typhoid fever and Tuberculosis, and I'm
thinking that while I try to understand if they're a good idea or not
for DebConf, I might as well go and get them.
Meningitis and Japanese encephalitis I also do not have, and they're
trickier to get, so I'd like to understand how important they are.
Vaccines for malaria are still under development, and I understand
malaria chemoprophylaxis is rather heavy, so I'd avoid it if it's not
needed.
