Immunization with vaccines provides protection against certain diseases. The vaccine helps the body make antibodies to fight infection.
Immunization helps keep individuals safe from diseases that can be prevented with vaccines. Without immunization, one person who becomes ill can quickly pass a communicable disease to an entire community if people have not been protected by immunization.
