Immunization

Immunization is a global health and development success story, saving millions of lives every year. Currently, immunization prevents 3.5-5 million deaths every year from diseases like diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, influenza and measles. It is also critical in the prevention and control of infectious disease outbreaks. Vaccines reduce risks of getting a disease by working with your body's natural defences to build protection.
