Vaccinations help in saving lives and in boosting immunity and they are high in demand. Moreover, influenza viruses are not consistent and thereby vaccines need to be updated accordingly.

The whole system of vaccination is an organized process starting from discovery, development, manufacture, distribution, regulation, production, distribution, and implementation as per the federal policies. Vaccination is a mandate in the US. For the cases where children are neglected and not given proper medication, the American Academy of Pediatrics reports the case to the state Child Protective Services agencies for further actions. Being vaccinated is compulsory for getting into military services. It is also compulsory for those applying for a green card; vaccinations for immigrants are a requirement to prevent certain diseases as per the criteria set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Attending schools requires an updated immunization record from all students. Vaccines are always being vigorously pushed to eradicate certain outbreaks and life-threatening diseases such as pertussis, tetanus, polio, diphtheria, and so on. Additionally, the government offers free immunization to those who cannot afford vaccinations which the CDC sets budgets for every year.

The vaccination schedule is outlined by the CDC and is guided by doctors as and when the child is born. It is certainly pricey but childhood immunization is also essential. As a result of the ongoing vaccine services, there has been a dramatic decline in mortality and morbidity rate.

Needless to say, most of the diseases have witnessed significant downfall in the light of strong immunization strategies for infants and children. This calls for both the parents and patients to comply with the basic vaccination mandates to keep their children safe and sound.
