The Vaccinators

The Vaccinators

Vaccines are the most effective way to prevent many infectious diseases.  They prevent millions of deaths worldwide every year. 

Vaccination protects the people in your family and community – by helping to stop diseases spreading to people who cannot have vaccines, such as babies too young to be vaccinated and those who are too ill to be vaccinated. 

Getting vaccinated is the most important thing we can do to protect ourselves and our children against ill health.
