Immunization and Vaccination in NYC

02/17/2020 Vaccines are generally safe and effective in preventing disease. A vaccine uses a small amount of dead or weak virus or bacteria, or artificially made proteins that imitate the virus, producing immunity to a specific disease. Although immunity is achievable when a person is exposed naturally to a virus, there is the risk of serious disease and potentially even death. You should always consult your physician to determine the appropriate vaccination schedule for you. Guidelines change and your NYC medical care doctor will customize the recommendation to your specific case to keep you in good health.



HOW DO VACCINES WORK AND WHO SHOULD RECEIVE THEM?

When you are vaccinated, you are injected with a weakened form of a disease which triggers your body’s immune response, so it either produces antibodies to that disease, or it starts other processes that help to enhance your immunity. Afterward, if you are exposed to the actual disease, your immune system is more prepared to fight the infection.


Usually, vaccination will prevent disease or will reduce its severity. It is much safer and more cost-effective to prevent disease than to treat it.


Over the year’s vaccines have prevented epidemics of infectious diseases that were once common, including:

  • Whooping cough
  • Mumps
  • Measles



Vaccines have helped almost to eradicate some diseases such as smallpox and polio.



Proof of immunization is often a prerequisite for certain workplace and other environments.
