Vaccination campaigns are really important for keeping everyone safe from viruses.
When enough people get vaccinated, we can achieve something called herd immunity. This means that the virus can't spread easily because many people are immune to it.
Here are some key points to understand:
Vaccination Goal: To reach herd immunity for many diseases, we need at least 70-95% of people to be vaccinated. For example, to protect against measles, about 95% of people need to be immune.
Fighting Outbreaks: If we can increase the number of people getting vaccinated by just 10%, we could reduce the infection rates by up to 50%! That’s a huge difference.
Worldwide Impact: According to the World Health Organization, vaccines save 2-3 million lives every year.
Overall, effective vaccination campaigns play a big role in keeping our communities healthy and safe.
