It's good, because in my country they are mandatory and really nothing speaks against it. Aside from irrational fears, of course.

Isn't it just mandatory for kids and people who are traveling a lot? I think its been ages since the last time I got a vaccine... other then the regular tetanus vaccine after I stab my hand, crash into a car with my bicycle... and you know other stuff that usually ends with having an open wound...

Mostly the important vaccinations are the ones you get as kids. The only ones I know of that you get as an adult are the two you mentioned (travelling and tetanus) and the influenza vaccine - which due to the changeable nature of influenza isn't in the end likely to stop a pandemic.
