The race to vaccinate against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, has dominated the public health landscape for over a year. Vaccines are considered a key strategy for halting the current pandemic that has been attributed to over two million deaths globally. The reality is that COVID-19 vaccines join an ever-growing family of immunizations for viral and bacterial illnesses. Vaccines are recommended for flu season (influenza), traveling to some foreign countries or for occupational purposes, such as anthrax. For children under the age of 6, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends numerous vaccines and boosters to offer protection from a variety of serious diseases, including polio, the measles and chicken pox (varicella) to name a few.
