3P4Care® Avondale Vaccinations
Protect Yourself, Your Family & Community
Vaccinations, also known as immunizations, are the most effective way to protect yourself from getting sick. They can prevent the spread of contagious diseases, reducing the overall mortality rate.
How Vaccines Work
The human body’s immune system is responsible for fighting off diseases and illnesses. Whenever someone gets infected with a particular virus, their body learns how to produce antibodies to fight that specific virus in the future. However, some highly contagious viruses can cause severe illness and, in some cases, even be life-threatening. For instance, measles can lead to blindness.
Fortunately, vaccines are a safe and effective way to teach the body how to develop immunity without getting sick. A vaccination shot contains a small, weakened strain of a specific disease, which enables the body to produce the necessary antibodies to fight that disease naturally.
While some vaccines, like flu shots, need to be taken periodically, others, like the chickenpox vaccine, can provide lifelong immunity.
