It is owing to their use that epidemics have been eradicated and tremendous suffering has been relieved. It is a matter of course that all vaccination recommendations are to be constantly monitored and also revised in case new situations come about; however, it would be foolish not to make use of this excellent possibility offered by prophylactic medicine.
