You may think vaccines are just for babies and children but vaccines are an important strategy for staying healthy your whole life.
Vaccinate for a healthy life! Vaccines stimulate our immune system to create antibodies against diseases that can cause serious illness, especially at certain times of our lives?like pregnancy and as we age.
As adults, we need vaccines, especially if we didn?t get all of them as children. We may need to repeat some vaccines because immunity can fade over time. And, we may get updated vaccines because the vaccines available today may give better protection than ones we may have received 20 or more years ago.
