Vaccination
Essential for preventing disease, reducing severity, and maintaining public health through herd immunity.
Know what
What Are Vaccinations?
Vaccination teaches your immune system to recognize and fight pathogens using a safe version of the virus or bacteria, such as a weakened pathogen, protein, or toxin. The vaccine prompts your immune system to produce antibodies, preparing it to fight the disease if you encounter it later.
Most vaccines require an initial dose and a follow-up. Wasatch Wellness helps you stay up to date. We provide resources for effective management, offering regular evaluations to personalize your treatment plan.
