What are the genuine health hazards of a vegetarian diet and what are the best (meat-free) options of remedying them?

Lacto-ovo-vegetarian specifically.

As a dietitian, I've seen no health issues in lacto-ovo-vegetarians I've counseled that could be directly attributed to their diet. Standard vegetarians often ignore the importance of animal-derived vitamins over plant derived ones but it is difficult to pinpoint health consequences related to this and there have not been sufficient studies done. You can get vitamin D from plants, but it is D2 and not the animal-derived D3. D2 is less bioavailable and is more likely to result in Hypervitaminosis D if taken in large amounts. However, in the OPs case the eggs and milk are incredibly dense sources of most of the hard to find animal-derived vitamins as well as minerals and should not have any issues.
