Immunization

Why is Immunization so Important?

Did you know that immunization saves more than three million lives every year? Immunization protects you against many diseases. Not getting vaccines may leave you vulnerable to these diseases. We follow the schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

How do Vaccines Work?

Vaccines are like a training course for the immune system. They prepare the body to fight disease without exposing it to disease symptoms. When foreign invaders such as bacteria or viruses enter the body, immune cells called lymphocytes respond by producing antibodies, which are protein molecules.

Facts

  • Immunization through vaccination is the safest way to protect against disease.

  • Combined vaccines are safe and beneficial. 

  • Vaccines stimulate our immune system
    the same way the infection would, but
    without making us sick.

Preventable Diseases

Myths

  • Vaccines cause autism 

  • Vaccines are harmful

  • It is not necessary to get vaccines

Study on Vaccination

There has been an ongoing discussion about whether vaccines cause autism. Scientists have conducted extensive research over the last two decades and the results show that there is NO link between autism and vaccines.
