What Are Immunizations?

Immunizations—also known as vaccinations—train the body’s immune system to recognize and fight harmful germs. By exposing your body to a safe, weakened, or inactive form of a virus or bacteria, vaccines help you build immunity without becoming seriously ill. This preparation keeps you better protected if you encounter the disease in the future.

Because of widespread immunization, many once-common diseases are now rare or well-controlled, making vaccines one of the most effective public health tools available.

Who Should Get Vaccinated & When

Immunizations are recommended throughout life to ensure continued protection:

• Infants & Children: Early vaccines protect against illnesses like measles, pertussis, and polio.
• Adolescents & Teens: Additional vaccines reinforce earlier protection and cover new risks.
• Adults: Many adults benefit from vaccines for influenza, tetanus, pneumonia, shingles, and more, depending on age and health needs.
• Special Groups: Travelers and healthcare workers may require specific immunizations.

How Immunizations Work & What to Expect

• Protection: Vaccines stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies that fight disease.
• Safety: Vaccines undergo rigorous testing and monitoring to ensure they remain safe and effective.
• Timing: Some vaccines require multiple doses or boosters, which help maintain strong immunity.
