Vaccinations in Germany - statistics & facts
Vaccinations can provide strong protection against infectious diseases, which could have devastating effects on human health or even lead to fatalities. While not all vaccines prevent virus transmission, they still contribute to more individuals not infecting others and thus not spreading a disease further. Some vaccines have been around for a long time, such as the smallpox or polio vaccines, while others, like the recently developed vaccines against the coronavirus (COVID-19), are very new.
