Vaccination Programmes

Vaccination programmes are organized efforts to provide immunizations to protect populations from infectious diseases. They involve administering vaccines, which train the immune system to recognize and fight specific pathogens without causing illness. These programmes aim to reduce, or even eliminate, diseases by achieving high coverage within communities, ensuring that most people are protected. They often target children, vulnerable groups, or populations at risk, and are essential for maintaining public health. Successful programmes rely on proper planning, vaccine supply, public awareness, and monitoring to track progress and ensure safety.
