Immunizations

Disease prevention is the key to public health. It is always better to prevent a disease than to treat it. Vaccines prevent disease in the people who receive them and protect those who come into contact with unvaccinated individuals. Vaccines help prevent infectious diseases and save lives. Vaccines are responsible for the control of many infectious diseases that were once common in this country, including:

• Diphtheria
• Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib)
• Measles
• Mumps
• Pertussis (whooping cough)
• Polio
• Rubella (German measles)
• Tetanus
• Varicella (Chickenpox)
