Vaccines have proven to be the most effective and also the safest public health interventions for combating communicable diseases. Moreover, the efficiency of these vaccines it is reflected in the reduction of infant mortality, from the very high figures at the time when immunization could only be done through illness, to the present times when it tends to zero. However, childhood infectious diseases may return, with devastating effects, if we do not continue to protect our children through vaccination.

The national immunization program currently includes vaccines for the most serious childhood infectious diseases, such as polio, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, diphtheria, pneumococcal pneumonia and more. In addition to these, there are other diseases for which vaccination of children is optional but recommended, such as Flurotavirus infection, chicken pox and others.
