Vaccines help reduce many infectious diseases thousands of times

Thanks to the vaccine, we have eradicated smallpox since 1980, now there is not a single case of smallpox in the world˳
Vietnam also eliminated polio in 2000 on a national scale˳
And so many diseases that thanks to vaccines and the Expanded Immunization Program have been reduced by hundreds to thousands of times compared to before˳”

“Measles is a disease that almost everyone in our generation has˳ Only the next generation with vaccination will not get measles˳ With measles, once vaccinated, immunity is very stable …
Thanks to vaccines, many serious diseases become mild or completely eliminated˳
Thus, we believe that the very important point of vaccination is that vaccination is expanded to prevent serious but not universal diseases˳
I also resolutely defend the vaccine service, people have to pay, but people have the need to access it because public health can’t afford it, only partly because of funding problems,” Mr˳ Phu emphasized˳ ˳
