Vaccine-preventable diseases are infectious illnesses that can be prevented or controlled through vaccination. The most common vaccine-preventable diseases include measles, polio, influenza, tetanus, hepatitis B, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough). These diseases can have serious health consequences, including hospitalization, long-term disabilities, and in some cases, even death. Vaccination plays a crucial role in preventing the spread of these diseases and protecting individuals, particularly children and vulnerable populations, from the associated health risks. By getting vaccinated and maintaining high vaccination rates within communities, we can significantly reduce the occurrence and impact of these preventable diseases.
