- Immunizations are one of the most effective ways to stay healthy.
- Disease prevention is the key to public health. It is always better to prevent a disease than to treat it.
- Vaccines are safe and help prevent infectious diseases and save lives.
- The use of vaccines is responsible for the disappearance of many diseases that were once common in this country. It is rare to see a case of polio, diphtheria, tetanus, rubella (German measles), or HIB.
- Diseases such as Pertussis (whooping cough), mumps, and measles are increasing among unvaccinated people in this country.
- Vaccinations aren't just for kids. As you get older, or get sick, or start a new job, or travel the world, you may need vaccines that you never needed before.
Vaccines are cost effective and prevent disease and early death.
