Vaccines

Vaccines are medical products designed to help the immune system recognize and fight specific infections. They contain harmless parts or weakened forms of viruses or bacteria, prompting the body to produce immunity without causing illness. When vaccinated, the body "learns" to identify and respond quickly to future infections. This not only protects the individual but also helps prevent the spread of diseases in the community. Vaccination has successfully reduced or eradicated many diseases, contributing to public health and safety.
