A vaccine is a substance that stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies, providing immunity against specific diseases. Vaccines contain ingredients, called antigens, which help the body to develop immunity (protection) against specific diseases.
Most vaccines are covered.
You can ask your local pharmacy about the vaccines they offer. Pharmacies often provide a variety of vaccines, and they can help you determine which ones you need and administer them. You can also go to your primary care doctor or your public health department.
