What Are Immunizations?
Immunizations, also known as vaccinations, are injections that protect you from contagious diseases. They work by introducing a weakened or inactive form of a germ into your body, prompting your immune system to create antibodies. These antibodies then help your body recognize and fight the disease if you are exposed to it in the future.
The protection provided by immunizations can last many years or even a lifetime, though some vaccines need to be updated annually.
What Diseases Do Immunizations Protect Against?
Immunizations protect against a wide range of diseases, including but not limited to:
- Measles
- Mumps
- Rubella
- Chickenpox
- Diphtheria
- Tetanus
- Polio
- Whooping cough
- Human papillomavirus (HPV)
- Pneumococcal disease
- Hepatitis A and B
Annual flu vaccines protect against the flu strains expected each season, making yearly shots important to maintain immunity. The COVID-19 vaccine is also a critical immunization that has saved millions of lives and reduced hospitalizations across all age groups.
Can I Expect Any Side Effects?
Most people experience little to no side effects after immunizations. When side effects do occur, they are generally mild and short-lived, such as:
- Low-grade fever
- Fatigue
- Tenderness or soreness at the injection site
These symptoms typically resolve within a day or two, and you can usually resume your normal activities immediately after vaccination.
