Vaccination / Preventive Immunization
About Vaccination / Preventive Immunization
Vaccination and preventive immunization are healthcare measures used to protect individuals from infectious diseases by strengthening the body’s immune response. Vaccines help the immune system recognize and fight harmful viruses and bacteria, reducing the risk of infection, severe illness, hospitalization, and disease transmission.
Overview
Preventive immunization is an important part of public health and preventive medicine. Vaccines are recommended for children, adults, elderly individuals, healthcare workers, travelers, and people with chronic illnesses or weakened immunity. Common vaccines help prevent diseases such as influenza, hepatitis, pneumonia, COVID-19, tetanus, measles, tuberculosis, and other vaccine-preventable infections. Immunization schedules are planned according to age, medical condition, and risk factors.
