Vaccine Safety
Vaccines are a safe and effective way to prevent many infectious diseases. Vaccines work by stimulating the body’s natural immunity to a specific disease. When given before exposure to a disease, vaccines can reduce or even prevent infection. Vaccines are an important part of public health efforts to keep people healthy and safe from diseases. They are also a critical tool in the fight against emerging and drug-resistant diseases. Vaccines have been used for more than 200 years and have saved millions of lives. They have helped to reduce the risk of many diseases and even eradicate some, like smallpox. Vaccines are also important for protecting vulnerable populations, such as newborns, pregnant women, and the elderly. Vaccines are rigorously tested to ensure they are safe and effective before they are approved and made available to the public.
