Vaccination is one of the best tools we have to protect our health. Safe and effective vaccines are available to protect us from more than 14 harmful diseases, ranging from seasonal flu to measles, hepatitis, and cancer-causing viruses.
Vaccines are safe and effective. All vaccines approved for use in the United States have been extensively tested for safety and effectiveness. Experts at the FDA and CDC review safety data before approving and recommending new vaccines for use. Vaccines are continuously monitored even after they are approved.
Vaccines save lives. Vaccination helps protect us from diseases that can lead to serious illness. The CDC estimates that childhood vaccines save an estimated 4 million lives worldwide each year. By getting immunized, we can protect ourselves and people around us who might be at higher risk for becoming severely ill from a disease.
Vaccines save us time. Vaccines help prevent sick days, giving us more healthy time to live, learn, work, and play.
Vaccines save us money. Routine immunizations are free for children and fully covered for adults by most insurance plans. By getting immunized, we can avoid illnesses that could cause us to miss work or lead to costly medical bills.
