If you call your insurance they should be able to give you a document detailing coverage for vaccinations or just answer your questions directly over the phone.
MMR and TD need to be boosted every ten years. I've never had a meningitis vaccination so that one must be new. Tuberculosis tests are done by making a small injection just under the surface of the skin on the underside of your forearm. You then go back and have a doctor look at it within 24-48 hours. They can tell by the way your body reacts whether or not you're a carrier of TB.
In the US a TB test is $10-25. These are routine vaccinations and tests and you don't need to be going somewhere exotic to need them. In the US all teachers and daycare workers are required to have a TB test every year.
Call the insurance to find out the costs, but I imagine they'll cover all or most as it's definitely in their best interest for you to have these!!
