Immunity is the ability of the human body to resist almost all types of organisms and toxins that can damage tissues and organs. The most important is acquired immunity, which develops after exposure to bacteria, viruses, or toxins. Natural immunity consists of protective barriers that prevent the passage of microorganisms such as skin and stomach acid, phagocytosing cells, and the complement system. Vaccines are biological products that protect against a specific disease by stimulating the immune system. This review aims to address the concepts of immunization and vaccination. One of the most basic components of children and adults' right to a healthy life is the protection of them against diseases by vaccination. Immunization services are among the most important public health interventions for children in terms of preventing vaccine-preventable diseases and deaths.
