Is it true that vaccination given to infants reduces diseases?

The vaccine is a preparation that is used to stimulate the body's immune response against diseases.

It is generally true that vaccination given to infants reduces the incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases. Vaccines work by stimulating the immune system to recognize and fight specific diseases. When an infant receives a vaccine, their immune system is exposed to a weakened or dead form of the disease-causing microbe, which triggers an immune response. This response helps the immune system build immunity to the disease so that if the infant is exposed to the disease-causing microbe in the future, their immune system will be able to fight it off more effectively.

Many vaccines are recommended for infants and young children, including vaccines for diseases like measles, mumps, rubella, polio, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), hepatitis B, and others. Vaccination of infants and young children has been shown to be highly effective at preventing these diseases and reducing the incidence of related complications and deaths.

It is important to note that no vaccine is 100% effective, and there is always a small risk of side effects associated with vaccination. However, the benefits of vaccination in reducing the incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases generally outweigh the risks.
