This is my project page for my Soc. This project is about immunization in the United States. Immunization has led to the prevention, and virtual elimination, of diseases that were once a threat to the population.
Vaccines are perhaps the most simple and effective way of preventing diseases.
Vaccines developed for polio, smallpox, and tuberculosis elimiated these diseases. Vaccines have now been developed for chicken pox, Hepatitis B, measles, mumps, rubella, and various other diseases. Over the past few years, there has been an increase in diseases that are preventable by vaccination. For example, Tuberculosis ,once a diseease that was almost non-existent in our modern world, is now regularly appearing in the population. Diseases that were once thought to be absent, are more and more frequently appearing in the population.
