Why Is This Important?
Vaccines are one of the greatest public health achievements. Vaccines have reduced and eliminated some communicable diseases in the United States and around the world. Preventing disease is much easier than treating disease. And, achieving and maintaining high vaccination coverage helps protect the members of a community that are medically unable to receive vaccines. This "herd immunity" is critical in keeping vaccine preventable diseases from mutating and spreading.
