Description
This presentation explores the importance of vaccinations as a cornerstone of public health. It will explain how vaccines work to protect individuals from serious and preventable diseases, reduce the spread of infections, and contribute to herd immunity—helping safeguard those who cannot be vaccinated due to age or medical conditions. By highlighting scientific evidence, real-world impacts, and community-wide benefits, this presentation aims to reinforce why vaccinations are a safe, effective, and essential tool for maintaining healthy individuals and resilient communities.

  • Explain how vaccines work to prevent infectious diseases and protect individual health.
