What is vaccination?
Vaccination is a safe and effective way of protecting against harmful diseases. Vaccination increases the body’s natural defenses to build resistance to specific infections and makes your immune system stronger.
Vaccination Benefits
Vaccination trains the body to fight diseases like pneumonia, influenza, and HPV, reducing mortality and hospitalizations. It can be life-saving by preventing serious illnesses.
How It Works
Vaccines use weakened, inactivated or synthetic pieces of the disease-causing organism to stimulate an immune response.
Immune Memory
After vaccination, your body has a “memory” of how to defend itself against the disease if you are exposed to it in the future.
Preventive Care
This is not a treatment, this is preventive health care that decreases the risk of infections and boost immunity.
Wide Protection
Vaccination helps build herd immunity, reducing the risk of wide spread of diseases and protecting vulnerable populations.
