The importance of vaccine research

Vaccination provides the body with protection against infectious diseases in a much safer way than contracting the illness. Although recovering from certain diseases can sometimes give immunity against future infections, the complications can be serious or even life-threatening. Vaccines offer a controlled and effective method of protection.

Every vaccine is rigorously tested before approval, and its safety and effectiveness continue to be closely monitored afterwards.

Along with clean water, vaccines are the most important invention to improve human health (WHO)

Currently, more than 20 serious diseases can be prevented by vaccination

Vaccines save 3.5–5 million lives every year

By vaccinating, you're taking responsibility for yourself and others

Vaccinations help children grow up healthy

Vaccines increase the health and functional capacity of the elderly
