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.

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.

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.
