Definición

  • Vaccines play an integral role in the preclusion of preventable infectious diseases and have effected a significant reduction in the number of cases of various infections (e.g., diphtheria, paralytic poliomyelitis, and smallpox). Due to their documented positive impact on death, illness, and disability, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) ranked vaccinations as one of the top 10 greatest public health achievements of the 20th century in the United States.
