ANA ImmunizeHealth care providers, patients, families and caretakers benefit from becoming immunized; and registered nurses have a role in advocating for necessary vaccines throughout an individuals’ health care continuum. Vaccinations protect the individual and the public, including individuals who reside in both urban and rural communities from preventable diseases. Healthy individuals, as well as the most vulnerable, benefit from vaccinations. Neonates, pediatric, immunocompromised and individuals experiencing chronic diseases are especially at high risk for developing preventable disease complications and should be encouraged to become vaccinated.
