NATIONAL IMMUNIZATION PROGRAM


Terms To Remember

Natural Immunity: Immunity from disease can be provided by vaccination or by exposure to the disease. Some people believe that immunity is best gained by exposure to the actual disease, not by vaccination.
Shingles: A painful nerve inflammation occurring in people who have had chickenpox
National Immunization Project: An organization which can direct people to health clinics offering no- or low-cost vaccinations
