5 reason to receive Immunizations

Immunizations represent one of the most significant public health accomplishments of the 20th century. Every year thousands of people become seriously ill and are often hospitalized with illnesses that routine vaccination can help prevent. Immunization protects people of all ages from preventable diseases such as measles, polio, and COVID-19. Vaccinations are one of the most convenient and safest preventive care measures available. It is important to maintain routine immunizations to prevent further outbreaks, especially during a pandemic.
