Disease Prevention: Immunization protects individuals from serious diseases by helping their immune systems recognize and fight off harmful pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria. Community Protection: Vaccination contributes to herd immunity, which occurs when a high percentage of the population is immunized against a disease. This helps prevent outbreaks and protects those who cannot be vaccinated due to medical reasons or age.
