Safe and Effective Vaccines
Safe and effective vaccines are medical preparations designed to protect against specific diseases. They work by stimulating the immune system to recognize and fight off pathogens, like viruses or bacteria, without causing the disease. Before approval, vaccines undergo rigorous testing in clinical trials to ensure they are both safe (causing minimal side effects) and effective (providing strong immunity). Once approved, they continue to be monitored for safety. Vaccination not only helps protect individuals but also contributes to community immunity, reducing the spread of diseases. Overall, vaccines are a critical tool in public health for preventing infectious diseases.
