Why Immunize?
-diseases become rare through vaccinations -immunizing keeps disease under control until it is eliminated

How do Immunizations work?
-they introduce weak forms of viruses into your body so that your immune system can build up antibodies to protect you from contracting the disease. - introducing the disease into your system early on helps prevent you from catching it later

Applications
-specific immunizations required in most states to school aged children who attend day care and school

Immunization Scares
-afraid of needles -false theory that Autism is caused by vaccinations
