You Wouldn't Want to Live Without Vaccinations!

Sticking sharp needles into small children doesn't sound like a nice thing to do-but sometimes you have to "be cruel to be kind." Since the 18th century, vaccinations have saved millions of people from deadly diseases. In the future, as new techniques are invented, we might even be able to give vaccines without that needle. Excerpts from Experts: Sleep, exercise, and a healthy diet are all good for your immune system. Keep your shots up to date. Some vaccinations have to be repeated at intervals. Vaccinations can protect you from some of the worst diseases, but simply washing your hands is the best defense of all. Don't refuse to get a vaccination-it's one of the greatest benefits of the modern world.
