  1. The meningococcal vaccines protect against meningococcal disease, a serious infection that can lead to bacterial meningitis and other serious infections
  2. All preteens should get one Tdap shot when they are 11 or 12 years old
  3. Vaccines save lives and protect against the spread of disease
  4. The HPV vaccine is recommended for girls and boys 11 or 12 years old,
  5. When vaccination rates are high, disease rates are low.
  6. If people are not vaccinated, diseases that have become uncommon such as pertussis (whooping cough), polio and measles, will quickly reappear.
  7. Today, we protect children and teens from 16 diseases that can have a terrible effect on their young victims if left unvaccinated
  8. Kids get a shot against DTAP when they are babies, and that starts to wear off as they get older so a booster called Tdap is required to protect pre-teens
  9. Immunization through vaccination is the safest way to protect against disease.
  10. Babies and little kids get shots called DTaP to protect them from diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough).
  11. Most childhoodvaccines are 90% to 99% effective in preventing disease.
  12. Killed (inactivated) viruses or bacteria are used in some vaccines, such as in IPV (polio)
  13. Because HPV can cause serious problems, for example some types of cancer can be caused by HPV, a vaccine is an important step in preventing infection and protecting against the spread of HPV
  14. Measles outbreaks still happen. Complications occur in about 10% of cases. For every 1,000 cases of measles, 1 or 2 of those people will die.
  15. The flu shot is the best way to reduce your chances of severe flu and of spreading it to others and have been used for more than 60 years
  16. Vaccines begin at 2 months of age to protect babies as early in life as possible against diseases that can make them very sick
  17. Tetanus kills 10% or more of its victims.
  18. The chance of getting sick from a vaccine-preventable disease is far greater than the very small risk of having a serious side effect from the vaccine itself
  19. Herd immunity is the benefit everyone receives from a vaccinated population once immunization reaches a critical level
  20. All vaccine-preventable diseases have declined in countries with successful vaccination programs
  21. Pertussis(“whooping cough”) kills between 1 and 4 babies every year. About 1 in 400 babies who survive pertussis has permanent brain damage.
  22. Meningococcal disease can lead to an infection of the bloodstream or meningitis, or both, and can be life-threatening if not quickly treated
  23. live viruses are used in some vaccines such as in the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Live, virus is a weakened version of the virus, it will protect you against the virus but wont give you the virus
  24. If we stop vaccination, deadly diseases will return.
