Vaccination policies are guidelines set by governments or health organizations to promote the use of vaccines to protect public health. These policies often include recommendations for specific vaccines, vaccination schedules, and requirements for certain populations, such as schoolchildren or healthcare workers. The goal is to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and achieve herd immunity. In many countries, vaccination policies may also involve mandates, where individuals must receive certain vaccines to attend school or participate in public activities. These policies are based on scientific evidence and aim to reduce the incidence of diseases like measles and influenza, ultimately safeguarding community health.
