Viral Vaccines

Viral vaccines are vaccines designed to protect individuals from infections caused by viruses. They work by stimulating the immune system to recognize and fight off viruses that cause diseases. Vaccines have been shown to be effective in controlling the spread of a variety of viral diseases, such as measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, rotavirus, and human papillomavirus (HPV). They can also be used to prevent infections in people at risk of contracting a virus, such as those in contact with individuals who have been infected with a virus. The use of viral vaccines is an important component of public health efforts to reduce the incidence and severity of infectious diseases.
