10 REASONS TO GET A VACCINE

1. The vaccine-preventable diseases have not disappeared

Viruses and bacteria that cause diseases and result in death, are still existent and could be transferred to the ones not protected with vaccines. Even though many diseases are not frequent in the developed countries, people’s free travel around the world facilitates their dissemination.

2. Vaccines would help you be healthy 

The WHO recommends vaccination as protection against numerous infections. When people do not vaccinate, they remain vulnerable to diseases such as herpes zoster, pneumococcal infection, influenza, HPV, hepatitis A and B etc.

3. Vaccines are important to health as good eating and exercising 

Just like healthy eating, exercises and regular prophylactic examinations, vaccines play major role in preserving human life and health. Vaccines are among the safest available preventive measures.

4. Vaccination could mean choosing between life and death

Infections preventable via the vaccine could be lethal. Measles vaccines by themselves have prevented over 21 million death cases from 2010 to 2017. Vaccines help against diseases that could cause severe injuries or death especially in the case of children whose immune system is about to develop. It is important to vaccinate your child. Otherwise contagious diseases such as measles, diphtheria and poliomyelitis that have been declared extinct in many country would reappear.

5. Vaccines are safe 

In the contemporary world, there is serious and reliable approval process that ensures all the approved vaccines are safe. The potential side effects related to vaccines are rare and not as severe as the diseases they prevent.

6. Vaccines could not cause the diseases they are designated to prevent

Vaccines contain either killed or weakened viruses, or bacteria that makes catching the disease via the vaccine impossible.

7. The young and healthy people could also get seriously sick

Infants and elderly people are exposed to increased risk of serious infections and complications yet vaccine-preventable diseases could impact everyone. Vaccination helps young people keep their health and life.

8. Vaccine-preventable diseases are serious financial burden

Diseases not only directly impact individuals and their families, but are also costly to society. The standard flu could take around 15 days, usually with five or six skipped business or school days. The adults who get sick with hepatitis A, lose one business month on the average.

9. When you get sick, your children, grandchildren and parents could also be exposed to risk

When you get vaccinated, you protect yourselves and your family, as well as the vulnerable group of people that because of different reasons cannot get a vaccine.

10. Хората имат нужда един от друг

Every year millions of people get sick with vaccine preventable disease that makes them be absent from work and incapable to take care after the ones that depend on them (children and/or elderly parents).
