What Are Vaccines?

Vaccines play a vital role in maintaining your health, offering protection against numerous serious diseases. They bolster your immune system, empowering it to combat illnesses caused by viruses or bacteria, effectively preventing you from falling sick.

For most vaccines, an injection (shot) in your leg or arm is required. The duration of a vaccine’s effectiveness can vary. While some vaccines necessitate an annual injection to maintain protection, others may safeguard you for a lifetime. Embrace the power of vaccines in safeguarding your health and securing a healthier future for yourself and others.



Why Do You Need to Get Vaccines?
