They protect against serious diseases that can cause long-term illness, hospitalisation, and even death. High vaccination rates are crucial in preventing the spread of these diseases and protecting vulnerable individuals who cannot be vaccinated due to medical reasons
Certain groups may require additional vaccinations due to increased risk factors, including those with specific health conditions, pregnant women, and healthcare workers. These vaccines include those for flu, COVID-19, and hepatitis B, among others.
