Vaccines have reduced many infectious diseases in the United States, and some have even been eliminated. Around the world, immunization efforts have saved an estimated 154 million lives over the past 50 years.
Different vaccines work in different ways, but they all have the same goal of helping your immune system recognize and fight harmful germs before they can make you seriously sick.
Talk with your healthcare provider to make sure you and your family are up to date on recommended vaccinations.
