Understanding Vaccines: Protecting Your Child’s Health

Vaccines work by stimulating your immune system to recognize and combat specific diseases. When a vaccine introduces a harmless part of a virus or bacteria into your body, it triggers an immune response, teaching your body how to fight the real infection in the future. This preparation allows your immune system to respond more effectively and efficiently if you are ever exposed to the actual pathogen.

Vaccinating your child is crucial in safeguarding them against potentially severe or fatal diseases, particularly for infants with developing immune systems. Immunizations protect against highly contagious diseases like measles, diphtheria, and polio, which can resurge if vaccination rates drop. Ensuring timely vaccinations helps maintain herd immunity, preventing the return of these dangerous diseases and keeping communities safe.
