Why you should immunize?
Immunization Saves Lives
There are many important reasons why you should carefully consider immunizing yourself and your loved ones.
Immunization is proven to be one of the most effective ways to protect yourself, your family and your community from preventable diseases.
Every year, immunization saves many people from death or disability. It also helps reduce medical care and hospital admissions.
Protect your children and yourself
It's important to remember that immunization is a lifelong process for preventing infection and disease. While it's important to protect our children through immunization, we also need to remember to protect ourselves.
This means that all adults should receive all doses of vaccines recommended to them. You can also receive other vaccinations based on your:
- occupation,
- travel,
- medical conditions,
- environment,
- lifestyle, and
- age.
Some vaccines are free through your family doctor. Make sure you're protected.
