Vaccination Campaigns
Vaccination campaigns are organized efforts to immunize large groups of people against infectious diseases. These campaigns promote vaccines, which train the body's immune system to recognize and fight off specific pathogens, helping to prevent illness. They often target vulnerable populations, such as children, the elderly, and healthcare workers, and can be conducted through public health initiatives, community events, or school programs. Effective campaigns increase vaccination rates, reduce disease outbreaks, and protect public health by achieving herd immunity, where enough people are vaccinated to prevent the virus from spreading widely in the community.

The goal is to build herd immunity, where a significant portion of the population becomes immune, reducing disease spread and protecting those who cannot be vaccinated. Successful campaigns can lead to the control and even eradication of diseases, improving overall public health.
