Vaccination programs play a crucial role in disease control by strengthening the body’s natural defenses and preventing the spread of infectious diseases. Vaccines teach the immune system how to recognize and fight off specific pathogens, either by using weakened or killed versions of the pathogen or by targeting specific parts of it. This process creates immunity, making individuals resistant to the disease.
