Immunizations - Oklahoma State Department of Health

Immunizations

Vaccines are among our safest and most reliable medicines. Every year, they prevent countless serious illnesses and thousands of deaths from measles, polio, diphtheria, tetanus (lockjaw), mumps, rubella (German Measles), pertussis ( whooping cough), hepatitis B , haemophilis influenza B, hepatitis A, and varicella (chicken pox). About 100 million doses are given annually in the United States, most of them to infants and children as part of their routine immunizations.

A single dose of some vaccines gives nearly complete protection. With others, a series of doses spread over months, or years, is needed for the best results.

Vaccines, like many medicines, can cause side effects. These are usually mild and brief. Very rarely are they serious. It is important for anyone getting a vaccine, or for parents of children receiving a vaccine, to know what the vaccine is, what its benefits are, and what risks, if any, it has.
