Immunization Practices

Immunization practices involve administering vaccines to help your immune system recognize and fight specific diseases. Vaccines contain weakened or harmless parts of germs that stimulate your body to produce protection, called antibodies, without causing illness. Proper immunization schedules and techniques ensure vaccines are safe and effective, helping prevent outbreaks of contagious diseases like measles, influenza, and COVID-19. Healthcare providers follow guidelines to deliver vaccines correctly, monitor for side effects, and keep accurate records. Immunization is a key public health tool that protects individuals and communities by reducing the spread of infectious diseases.
