Vaccination & Immunization
Vaccination & Immunization
Vaccination and immunization are essential healthcare measures designed to protect individuals and communities from infectious diseases. Vaccines stimulate the body’s immune system to recognize and fight harmful pathogens such as viruses and bacteria, reducing the risk of illness, complications, and disease outbreaks.
Immunization is not only critical for children but also for adults, seniors, and individuals with specific health conditions. Staying up-to-date with recommended vaccines ensures long-term protection and supports public health.
Key Objectives of Vaccination & Immunization

Protects against life-threatening illnesses like measles, polio, influenza, hepatitis, and COVID-19.
Community Immunity (Herd Immunity)
Reduces the spread of contagious diseases within communities.
Protection Across Lifespan
Vaccines are recommended for children, adults, pregnant women, and seniors.
Reduction in Complications
Prevents hospitalizations, severe symptoms, and long-term health problems associated with infections.
