vaccine

In the U.S., vaccines have greatly reduced or eliminated many diseases. But the viruses or bacteria that cause these illnesses still exist. And you can still get these diseases if you aren’t immunized (don’t get the vaccine). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends immunization schedules each year for infants, children and adults.
