Vaccines Improve Quality of Life
Vaccines have saved more human lives than any other invention in history. Today, it’s estimated that childhood vaccines prevent 4 million deaths worldwide every year.
Despite what some think, vaccines aren’t new. While formulations continue to improve, most vaccines we use today have been around for decades, proving to be safe and effective for generations of people.
It’s important to know that vaccination is most effective with collective effort. Community immunity, also known as herd immunity, occurs when most people are protected against a disease, making it less likely to spread. This can only be achieved when a large portion of the population is vaccinated.
