Why you should get vaccinated
Vaccines are a safe way to protect people against many infections or diseases such as tetanus, diphtheria, polio, measles, mumps and rubella.
A vaccine is usually given by a needle. You need to get each vaccine at a specific time to provide the best protection against diseases. Sometimes you need more than one dose of a vaccine. It is important to keep track of which vaccines you or your child gets.
