Vaccinations and immunisations
Vaccines are the most effective way to prevent many infectious diseases. They prevent millions of deaths worldwide every year. However, if people stop having vaccines, it's possible for infectious diseases to quickly spread again. If you are invited by the NHS to have a vaccine, please take that opportunity.
