vaccine policy

Vaccine policy involves the rules and strategies governments and health organizations use to ensure widespread use of vaccines to protect public health. These policies decide who should be vaccinated, when, and how often, based on safety, effectiveness, and disease risk. They aim to prevent outbreaks, protect vulnerable populations, and promote equitable access. Policies may include mandates, recommendations, funding, or public education campaigns. The goal is to balance individual choice with community health benefits while adapting to new scientific evidence and changing disease patterns.
