Whatever were your parents thinking about to fail to get you fully vaccinated!
You should have had vaccinations of: DTP (diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis - also known as whooping cough); MMR (measles, mumps and rubella); polio; meningitis (ACW&Y strains at least); BCG (tuberculosis) as an absolute minimum.
Even though you are under 16, it should be possible for you to get these vaccinations just on your own request.
In some countries (such as the UK), you are fully responsible for all your own medical care from 16 onwards, so you can get the missing vaccinations done then, even without your parents knowing (if that worries you).
Vaccination is a proven way of reducing not only your own risk of catching these diseases, many of which can be deadly, but also of helping to protect those who cannot be vaccinated because of a problem with immunity.

On living a long life depends on how you live if like most maybe to 90-95 also on your history of illnesses or diseases with in your family and for vacations that's up to you you can get them when you turn 18 what your folks do before hand is on them so to stay healthy wash your hands all the time be aware of sickness around you avoid places where sick people are take vitimans to boost your immune system, basically normal things in life when you kiss your girl friend do you know for sure she has NOTHING or hug your gram she not ill or shake anothers hand? germs are every where.. so be wise to hygine.

The most important one by a long way is the MMR, not just for you but to protect the people around you, especially persons who might be immunocompromised such as babies and people undergoing chemo or who have to take immunosuppressants. They don't wear signs so that the unimmunised can avoid interacting with them. Untreated mumps in an adult male can lead to sterility. Rare, but real measles complications include pneumonia and encephalitis, both of which can kill. Encephalitis can leave you with permanent brain damage.
Modern vaccines use "dead" viruses to provide the immune system with a template from which to make antibodies. You can't catch what you're being immunised for through the vaccine. However most people will experience a slight fever as a reaction to the immune system swinging into action as it responds to the vaccine. This is entirely expected and not an averse reaction.
Since you're 16 you don't need the TB vaccination right now unless TB is rife where you live. It's more important to protect young children. However, if it is common where you live you should get it in order to add to the herd immunity. You should also get it if you travel to a place where TB is common. Some jobs require it, such as some labs and many hospitals and prisons. If you need a TB vaccine for a job you can get it later.
Hepatitis: if you plan to travel somewhere with dirty water. Also, some jobs require it. Can be got when/if necessary.
If you're going away to university/college and meningitis vaccines are offered it's a good one to have. Not only can meningitis kill, but if you survive it you can lose limbs, go blind or be brain damaged. You're most at risk while being young and stupid in dorm sharing situations.
If males are offered the HPV vaccine where you live you will be a very good human for getting it. When males take it up they help protect women from cervical cancer and they protect themselves from throat cancer. This vaccine tends to make many parents very squeamish because they don't like to think about their kids being sexually active (fair enough, I don't want to think about my folks shagging either) but since most people will be sexually active in their lifetime it's an important one.
When you get old, for real old, you will probably want the shingles vaccine. It's possible to get shingles in later life even if you've had chickenpox. Shingles as an adult is annoying but it can have serious complications in the elderly.

you may live a long life but what people often forget is if you contract one of the illnesses you haven't been vaccinated for, you can spread it to a baby, an old person, an immunocompromised sick person and kill THEM.
I do find it hard to believe that you didn't get the rest of the shots when you got the polio shots. You can contact your doctor and ask you know.
