Vaccines in America have led to the eradication of transmissible infections and the reduction of vaccine preventable diseases among all age groups. Vaccines are important to the safety and welfare of our nation because vaccines produce immunity from infectious diseases. When most of the American population is vaccinated against COVID-19 and other transmittable diseases, herd or community immunity can slow disease transmission, including protection against the disease among persons who have not received the vaccines, and reduce the risk at-large of severe infections and adverse consequences of those diseases.
美国的疫苗已促成可传播感染的根除，并减少了所有年龄组中可通过疫苗预防的疾病。疫苗对我们国家的安全和福祉至关重要，因为疫苗可产生针对传染病的免疫力。当大多数美国人口接种针对新冠病毒和其他可传播疾病的疫苗时，群体免疫或社区免疫可减缓疾病传播，包括保护未接种疫苗的人群免受疾病侵害，并降低这些疾病严重感染和不良后果的总体风险。
