1. Protects Against Serious Diseases:
Vaccinations help protect against serious and potentially deadly diseases such as measles, polio, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, and influenza.
2. Herd Immunity:
Vaccinations help protect communities by providing herd immunity. When most of a community is vaccinated against a contagious disease, most members of the community are protected against that disease because there is little opportunity for an outbreak.
3. Cost-Effective:
Vaccines are cost-effective because they save money by preventing future health care costs. Vaccines can also reduce the costs of treating people who get the disease.
4. Safe:
Vaccines are safe. Most vaccines are very safe, and the risks associated with them are much lower than the risks of getting the disease the vaccine prevents.
5. Easy to Access:
Vaccines are easy to access. Most vaccines are available at local health care providers.
