Safe and Effective: Vaccines Work! - Fact Sheet
Organization: Voices For VaccinesPublished: 2014
"Most of us take for granted that we don’t get measles or polio any more. Since 1924, vaccines have prevented 103 million cases of many serious diseases.17 Vaccine doses and boosters are timed to protect as many people as possible. The need for boosters depends on the vaccine. The immunity from some vaccines (such as tetanus) declines after a certain period of time.18 Boosters help remind the body how to respond to an invasion from these diseases. Other vaccines, like
the measles vaccine, offer lifelong immunity, and two doses of the MMR vaccine ensure that 99% of people vaccinated with it will be immune to measles for life. 19,20 The influenza vaccine changes each year because different strains of influenza circulate. A new influenza vaccine provides the body with a more specific immune response.21" - Safe and Effective: Vaccines Work!
