PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — The COVID-19 pandemic put vaccines at the forefront of many people’s minds, and vaccination became a topic of interest and debate in politics and social media.

Many points can be debated, but few can argue that it is essential to educate people about the way vaccines work. According to the World Health Organization , there are now vaccines to prevent more than 20 major life-threatening diseases.

In most cases, vaccine effectiveness depends on a critical number of people getting vaccinated to slow down or even stop the disease from causing harm. If the number goes down, protection for society goes down.
