Getting immunized is one of the safest ways for you to protect your health and that of your family from vaccine-preventable diseases. Trinidad and Tobago has effectively controlled the incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases through implementing safe vaccine protocols from the moment of receiving, to the point of administering vaccines to the public. 

This safe method of vaccination is built on a long-standing system that ensures high standards of operations are met at every phase of the process, including rigorous testing, multiple phases of clinical testing (efficacy vs effectiveness), proper storage and distribution and most importantly, ensuring mechanisms are in place for documenting possible occurrences in the administration of vaccines.

Vaccines, though designed to protect from disease, are not always 100% risk-free. However, there is evidence to show that the benefits of getting vaccinated far outweigh the risks, and for this reason vaccines remain one of the surest ways to keep you healthy. In fact, the dangers of vaccine-preventable diseases are much greater than any risk associated with the vaccines.
