The use of vaccines has led to major improvements in children's health over a relatively short period. Many infectious diseases that you or your parents had during your childhood, from chickenpox to polio to measles, no longer affect most children today. If you follow the vaccination guidelines recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), you can help make your child healthier than ever in previous generations.
A vaccine-preventable disease is an infectious disease for which there is an effective preventive vaccine. If a person contracts and dies of a vaccine-preventable disease, death is considered vaccine-preventable death. The most common and serious vaccine-preventable diseases monitored by the World Health Organization (WHO) are: diphtheria, Haemophilus influenzae serotype b infection, hepatitis B, measles, meningitis, mumps, whooping cough, polio, rubella, tetanus, tuberculosis and yellow fever. WHO reports that licensed vaccines are available to prevent or help prevent and control 25 vaccine-preventable infections.
