From birth, vaccines help train the immune system by imitating infections, triggering the body’s natural defenses without causing illness. They contain antigens—harmless parts of bacteria, viruses, or toxins—that prompt antibody production, building lasting protection.
Vaccines are the safest, most effective way to prevent serious diseases. Infections can be unpredictable, sometimes leading to severe complications without warning. Staying up to date on vaccinations protects you and your loved ones before illness can take hold. To learn more about vaccinations, ask your care team at your next appointment, or send a message through the MHS GENESIS Patient Portal.
