H1N1 influenza is sometimes called "swine flu" because it is usually found in pigs. You cannot become infected with H1N1 influenza from eating pork products. The injectable form of H1N1 influenza virus vaccine is a "killed virus" vaccine and will not cause you to become ill with the flu virus that it contains.

A man with Hepatitis B can have unprotected (baby-making) sex with a woman without getting her or their child infected by first ensuring that the woman is successfully vaccinated against HepB. If she has been vaccinated successfully, she will not become infected with the virus, nor will she pass it down to her child.

Hello,
Yes rabies virus can be seen in vaginal fluids if she is symptomatic , however if vaccination has been taken then she should not be shedding virus. You should nevertheless take vaccination to be on a preventive side.

If you r asking for yourself (age-36) then its useless. It should be taken before you become sexually active.
Doctors stop recommending the HPV vaccine to women once they've reached their mid-20s. The human papillomavirus vaccine is FDA-approved only through age 26, with the thinking that by that time women (and men) have had enough sex that they're probably already exposed to the virus and won't benefit.
However you should annually get your PAP smear done.
