Why Are Vaccinations Important?

  • Protect Your Health: Vaccines help your immune system fight off infections, reducing your risk of getting sick.
  • Protect Others: By getting vaccinated, you help prevent the spread of diseases to those who are more vulnerable, such as young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems.
  • Eradicate Diseases: Vaccinations have led to the elimination of diseases like smallpox and have significantly reduced the impact of others, such as polio and measles.
