August is national immunization awareness month (NAIM) which emphasizes the importance of vaccination for people of all ages.
Many people skip or delay vaccinations for several reasons, including a hectic work schedule, fear of needles, and side effects. However, vaccines are crucial to protect you and others against viruses and bacteria. According to studies, flu vaccinations reduce the risk of catching the flu by 40-60%. Furthermore, immunizations prevent 2-3 million deaths every year currently and also prevented the Measles outbreak between 2000 and 2017.
It’s important to understand that by being unvaccinated, you are not only at risk of getting the disease but also becoming seriously ill and sometimes even developing fatal complications.
Some people think vaccines are important for those who have existing health conditions or compromised immune systems. However, vaccines are essential for everyone, from infants to children, adults, and seniors, despite their health conditions.
For example, unvaccinated children are more likely to develop serious complications from measles, whooping cough, and mumps. Unvaccinated pregnant women are vulnerable to diseases (such as Hepatitis B) that complicate their pregnancy or cause health issues to their unborn. Those who haven’t received their annual flu vaccination are easily susceptible to the influenza virus.
Though you may get a disease even when vaccinated, the vaccine decreases the likelihood of developing serious or fatal complications.
