From the doctor, when they give you a vaccine.
eg. When I got my Q-fever vaccination, I needed to get 'serology' done first, where someone checked my blood sample to see if I already had antibodies to Q-fever. When it was confirmed that I didn't, I had to get the vaccine, and the doctor printed a certificate as 'proof' that I had been vaccinated. If my serology had shown that I DID have antibodies before vaccination (ie. I had already been exposed to the virus and had naturally produced them), I would not have had the vaccine (it would have been detrimental - that's why the serology check was important, and the skin-prick test with a SMALL bit of the vaccine to see if I reacted to it). If my serology showed positive, I would have been given a certificate to say that I did NOT need the vaccine and already had antibodies.
Reason for doing all of this: employers can be liable if you get Q-fever and end up lethargic for months, recurrent, for the rest of your life. It is therefore their responsibility to ensure you have appropriate protection against work hazards - eg. if you end up working with sheep/cattle/etc. I paid for my own (it was expensive), but if you are working in a high-Q-fever-risk-job, you can often ask your employer to pay it for you, or you can claim it back on tax (the second option is less preferable if you are beneath the tax-paying threshold and you claim all of your tax back regardless)

Which cultures would be less likely to participate in immunization for the seasonal and H1N1 influenza?
Cultures with a strong emphasis on traditional medicine and skepticism toward Western medical practices may be less likely to participate in immunization for seasonal and H1N1 influenza. Additionally, communities with low levels of trust in government and healthcare systems, often due to historical injustices or discrimination, may also show resistance to vaccination. Religious beliefs or cultural practices that prioritize natural immunity over vaccination can further contribute to lower immunization rates. Lastly, misinformation and lack of access to reliable health information can deter participation in vaccination programs.
