How Vaccines Protect You

Your immune system fights off illnesses by producing antibodies. When you catch a virus, your body learns how to create antibodies to combat it. However, some viruses are highly contagious and can cause serious illness or even be life-threatening. For example, measles can lead to complications like blindness.

Vaccines provide a safe way to build immunity without contracting the disease. A vaccination introduces a small, weakened strain of a specific virus into your system, teaching your body to produce the necessary antibodies. Some vaccines, like the flu shot, require periodic boosters, while others, like the chickenpox vaccine, can offer lifelong protection.

Please note that vaccine availability varies by location. We recommend calling ahead to confirm specific vaccines or requirements.
