Brief Answer:
yes, for all

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing back.

yes, you and your wife both can take Hepatitis A and B, Mumps, Measles and rubella (MMR) and Chicken pox (varicella) vaccines.

MMR and Varicella are available in single dose forms, where as hepatitis needs a minimum of two doses.

if you are planning for the pregnancy then it is best to finish the vaccines 6 months before the same.

Coverage for each vaccine is different but usually more than 10 years.

Cost differs on the brand and the institution you get them done. None cost more than 3000rs and not less than 1000rs.

Hope,I answered your query.

Wish you good health.

Regards,
