Immunizations
Immunizations protect against a variety of diseases that can lead to serious health consequences. This protection reduces infant and child mortality rates. Immunizations also prevent long-term health complications and disability, allowing children to fully participate in social and educational activities, promoting overall development. Immunization rates are an indicator of optimal child health and development.
