What are some of the weaknesses of the original study in the MMR vaccine having factors in autism?

After how may days does the side effects of tetanus injection occur?
Side effects from a tetanus injection typically occur within a few days after vaccination, usually within 1 to 3 days.

If more severe reactions occur, it's important to consult a healthcare provider.
Do you need vaccinations to enter Cuba?
Considering that its not legal to enter Cuba in the first place...and it's only accessible by boat...vaccinations aren't a necessity. Actually, you should get your shots there; they have universal health care. It is not illegal to enter Cuba, it is illegal to travel directly from the US to Cuba. Cuba has airports, 165 of them, it is not only accessible by boat, they even have their own airline, Cubana. Vaccinations are necessary no matter what country you travel to. They might have universal health care but that does not mean you will be able to use it. So, if you are planning on visiting Cuba take care of all your vaccinations and have a plan for your medical needs.

Why is the number of vaccines increased?
As scientific understanding advances, new vaccines are developed for previously endemic diseases. For example, anyone over the age of twenty probably experienced Chicken Pox when growing up. However, since 1995 a vaccine has been available for this childhood disease, and resulting deaths have decreased by over 60% during the first decade of use, despite only 25% to 75% being immunized.

Traveling to mexico. Do you need H1N1 vaccine age 58?
There is no vaccine for H1N1 (swine flu) virus yet. The CDC expect the first batch to be available in October at the earliest. Those doses will go to people who need it most. Those with chronic illness, the very young and old and health workers.
Are vaccines effective before or after infection?
Vaccines are used to prevent infection; to create immunity so you do not get the infectious disease if you are later exposed to it after the vaccination has rendered you immune. If you already have caught the infection, vaccines will not be needed since the infection itself will provide immunity once the sickness is over. Anti-viral medicines are used after an infection to lessen the symptoms and speed recovery. See the related questions below for additional information.
What is it that your body produces in response to vaccines to protect you against viruses?
Antibodies.
As antibodies are produced, the body keeps a "record" of them and you will have developed an immunity to that specific virus in people with an otherwise healthy immune system. See more information below on how the immune system works.

Why did you get diarrhea and nausea two weeks after flu shot and pneumonia vac?
A guess would be that it had nothing to do with the vaccinations and, instead, was coincidental. Diarrhea would be an uncommon side effect of those vaccinations.
Side effects from vaccinations would also ordinarily occur immediately after the inoculation, rather than after such a long time period as two weeks. Since many viral infections take a week to ten days or more to start symptoms, perhaps you were exposed to a virus that caused viral gastroenteritis ("stomach flu") while in the public location where the injection was administered. That may have been from another patient or other source, and would be much more likely.
Always keep in mind when in public places, that you should wash your hands frequently to avoid picking up viruses, especially if you are in places where people with infections may frequently be, such as a doctor's office, pharmacy or clinic, etc....these are just the types of places where flu shots are given.
Remember during cold and flu season to wash your hands often. See the related questions below for more information on protecting yourself and others from viruses and flu.
