Vaccines protect us by creating immunity in our bodies to a variety of serious diseases. Some of these diseases have no treatment options if you get them and for some, vaccination is the only protection.

Vaccination is proven to be a safe and effective way to protect individuals, families and entire communities from potentially deadly infectious diseases and their complications.
