diphtheria, chickenpox, haemophilus influenzae type b, hepatitis A , hepatitis B, HPV, influenza, measles, mumps, meningococcal disease, pneumococcal disease, polio, rubella, tetanus and pertussis (whooping cough) are all Vaccine-Preventable Diseases
Vaccines save lives and make it possible for all of us to live free of the illness and disability associated with many vaccine-preventable diseases.
Some diseases such as polio and diphtheria are now less common, largely because they have effectively been reduced to record lows through vaccination.
When most of us get immunized, something called "herd immunity" makes it harder and harder for the disease to spread from person to person. This is especially important for people with certain medical conditions who are at a higher risk of getting a disease because they cannot be immunized.
If we stop immunizing, the diseases can come back and in some cases these diseases are just a plane ride away.
