Vaccinations
Vaccines are the most effective way to prevent catching and spreading infectious diseases and they prevent up to 3 million deaths worldwide every year.
Information on vaccines
Vaccines reduce the risk of getting a disease by working with your body’s natural defences to build protection. When you get a vaccine, your immune system responds.
For further information about vaccines, including vaccinations such as Whooping Cough and MMR, please visit the NHS.uk website.
