  1. 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
  2. Vaccines begin at 2 months of age to protect babies as early in life as possible against diseases that can make them very sick
  3. Killed (inactivated) viruses or bacteria are used in some vaccines, such as in IPV (polio)
  4. Tetanus kills 10% or more of its victims.
  5. Immunization through vaccination is the safest way to protect against disease.
  6. Most childhoodvaccines are 90% to 99% effective in preventing disease.
  7. If we stop vaccination, deadly diseases will return.
  8. The HPV vaccine is recommended for girls and boys 11 or 12 years old,
  9. All preteens should get one Tdap shot when they are 11 or 12 years old
  10. If people are not vaccinated, diseases that have become uncommon such as pertussis (whooping cough), polio and measles, will quickly reappear.
  11. Pertussis(“whooping cough”) kills between 1 and 4 babies every year. About 1 in 400 babies who survive pertussis has permanent brain damage.
  12. Vaccines save lives and protect against the spread of disease
  13. Meningococcal disease can lead to an infection of the bloodstream or meningitis, or both, and can be life-threatening if not quickly treated
  14. Babies and little kids get shots called DTaP to protect them from diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough).
  15. The meningococcal vaccines protect against meningococcal disease, a serious infection that can lead to bacterial meningitis and other serious infections
  16. All vaccine-preventable diseases have declined in countries with successful vaccination programs
  17. 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
  18. Herd immunity is the benefit everyone receives from a vaccinated population once immunization reaches a critical level
  19. Today, we protect children and teens from 16 diseases that can have a terrible effect on their young victims if left unvaccinated
  20. When vaccination rates are high, disease rates are low.
  21. 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.
  22. 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
  23. 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
  24. 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
