Vaccination helps create immunity, acting as a preventive measure against serious diseases and reducing the spread of infections or severe impacts on patients. Vaccines can be administered from infancy to old age. Within the vaccine, there are substances created to stimulate the body’s immune system (antibodies). When everyone receives vaccinations at a high rate, it helps communities or societies develop resistance to diseases, which also protects individuals at risk who have not been vaccinated. Additionally, the cost of vaccination is not expensive compared to the expenses incurred when the body becomes ill, affecting physical and mental health, which is essential.
