Immunization services

Immunization services are programs that provide vaccines to protect individuals, particularly children, from infectious diseases like measles, polio, and flu. Vaccines work by stimulating the immune system to recognize and fight these diseases without causing the actual illness. Immunization helps to build community protection, known as herd immunity, reducing the spread of diseases. These services typically include administering vaccines, tracking vaccination schedules, and educating the public about the benefits and safety of vaccines, ultimately aiming to prevent outbreaks and safeguard public health.
