Immunizations

Why are Vaccines Important?

Vaccines prevent the spread of communicable diseases, including polio, varicella, measles, mumps, rubella, Hib, Hepatitis B, tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough, flu, pneumonia, and COVID-19. They are a safe and effective way to protect you from potentially life-threatening diseases. It also helps to prevent the spread of diseases to others who are more at risk.
