Germs are everywhere

We live in a world where you can find germs almost everywhere. And even though you may not realise it, your body is in a never-ending battle fighting these germs as and when it is exposed to them.

The part of your body responsible for this is your immune system — and it is strengthened when you get vaccinated.

Vaccines train your body

When you get vaccinated, you teach your body how to fight diseases. Think of it like a training session. Your body learns to recognise and handle these germs as if you have caught the disease. So, if and when you are actually exposed to the germs in the future, your immune system will remember how to fight it.

If you are infected before you get vaccinated, you are at risk of falling seriously ill. The infection can lead to complications, disabilities and even death.

Strengthen your immunity with vaccination

If you generally lead a healthy lifestyle by exercising regularly and eating healthily, and hardly fall sick, you may have a good immune system. However, it may not be enough to ensure that you can fight an infectious disease. Vaccinations help build your immune system by strengthening it against serious infectious diseases.
