Why Are Immunisations Important?

Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to prevent serious infectious diseases. Immunisations help to:

  • ✔ Protect individuals from illnesses such as measles, flu, and meningococcal disease.
  • ✔ Build community immunity, reducing the spread of diseases.
  • ✔ Lower the risk of complications from vaccine-preventable diseases.
  • ✔ Ensure workplace safety by preventing outbreaks of contagious illnesses.
  • ✔ Provide protection for travelers, reducing exposure to region-specific infections.
