Abstract :
Vaccines are preparations that are used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but some can be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose. The storage of vaccines must be done properly in order to maintain its therapeutic efficacy as well as safety. Adequate storage facilities like refrigerator and temperature maintenance must be established. . By getting vaccinated, we can protect ourself and also avoid spreading preventable diseases to other people in our community. Disease burden due to vaccine preventable diseases is high. These diseases cause premature death, disability and malnutrition in young children. These vaccine preventable diseases can be prevented by vaccination and immunization.
