Why Immunize?
Immunization has been called the most important public health intervention in history, after safe drinking water. It has saved millions of lives over the years and prevented hundreds of millions of cases of disease.
How Vaccines Work - What Is Immunity?
When disease germs enter your body, they start to reproduce. Your immune system recognizes these germs as foreign invaders and responds by making proteins called antibodies. These antibodies’ first job is to help destroy the germs that are making you sick. They can’t act fast enough to prevent you from becoming sick, but by eliminating the attacking germs, antibodies help you to get well.
Immunity From Vaccines - How Vaccines Protect You
Vaccines solve this problem. They help you develop immunity without getting sick first.
Why We Vaccinate - Purpose of Immunizations
The purpose of immunizations is to prevent disease. Today, children in the United States routinely get vaccines that protect them from 14 diseases. All of these diseases have, at one time or another, been a serious threat to children in this country. Most of them are now at their lowest levels in history, thanks to years of immunization.

10 Vaccines Protect Us From 14 Diseases
Some childhood vaccines have been used since the 1940s, others have been around for only a short time. Currently there are 10 routinely used vaccines that protect children against the 14 diseases described in Part Two of this booklet. All of them have done an excellent job of reducing the burden of those diseases to their lowest point in history.
Childhood Immunization Schedule
Vaccines work best when they are given at certain ages. For example, measles vaccine is not usually given to children until they reach the age of one. If it is given earlier it might not work as well, and for vaccines requiring multiple doses, the doses should not be given too close together.
Disease Summary
Is it a virus or bacteria? How is it spread? What are the signs and symptoms, as a parent, I should look for? Are there any complications? Find the answer these questions for childhood diseases from Diptheria to Tetanus.
Childrens Immunizations - Questions & Answers
Some of us may have gotten only 3 vaccines as children: DTP, polio, and smallpox. There were no vaccines for measles, chickenpox, mumps, and other diseases - which meant that many of us also got those diseases! Over the years scientists have developed vaccines against more diseases, and we give them to our children to protect them from those diseases.
Immunization Trivia
The first Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded in 1901 to the scientist who developed the first antitoxin for diphtheria.
