In the midst of this crisis, we must also work to ensure all people are protected against diseases for which we have vaccines to prevent.
#VaccinesWork for all!
If only some people are vaccinated, diseases can still spread, especially to those at highest risk:
✅Infants who are too young to receive vaccines
✅Older adults at risk of serious diseases
✅People with low immunity

✅Using our body’s natural defenses to protect against infections
✅Training our immune system to create antibodies
This prevents us from getting sick.
