Immunization have saved millions of lives over the years and prevented hundreds of millions of cases of disease.

Many vaccines are routinely recommended for most people; these include polio, mumps, measles, rubella, and tetanus vaccines. Other vaccines are recommended for people because of their age, health, or circumstances. For example, the elderly in nursing homes are frequently given influenza vaccine.

Infant Immunizations -  Immunizations are one of the most important things a parent can do to protect their children’s health. Infants and young children need to be vaccinated because the diseases prevented by vaccination can strike at an early age. Also, these diseases can be far more serious or common among infants or young children.
