Detailed explanation-1: -Today, vaccines are estimated to be one of the most cost-effective means of advancing global welfare. They act as a protective shield, keeping families and communities safe. Despite these longstanding benefits, low immunization levels persist.
Detailed explanation-2: -Vaccines do have some risk for adverse reaction, the most common being redness and soreness at the injection site or fever and allergic reactions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Vaccines help your immune system fight infections faster and more effectively. When you get a vaccine, it sparks your immune response, helping your body fight off and remember the germ so it can attack it if the germ ever invades again.
Detailed explanation-4: -Universal Immunization Programme (UIP) is one of the largest public health programmes targeting close of 2.67 crore newborns and 2.9 crore pregnant women annually.
