Hello.... You might have had completed dose of DPT in childhood.. Measurement of antibody titre is sufficient.. Even booster doses are given. But not the same in case of your parents .. Only get vaccinated for those vaccines which are asked by USA. Usually they ask for pnumocaccal and meningococall vaccines.
