How Vaccines Protect You and Your Community
While different vaccines work in different ways, they all help your body learn how to defend itself from severe illness. Not only does this protect you and your health, but it protects your neighbors too! Learn more about how vaccines work.
Some people can’t get vaccinated, like those who are immunocompromised due to health factors like fighting cancer, or babies who are too young to receive certain vaccines. When you get vaccinated (if you are able), you lower the risk of passing a vaccine-preventable illness to those who are at a high risk for severe illness and unable to get vaccinated themselves. Learn more about protecting yourself and your community.
