Dear lybrate-user,
Vaccinations are to create an environment that will sensitize your body to the attack of a singular virus. After the age of 18, the action of vaccines have been challenged.
Instead of vaccination, take proper care to build your immunity to be able to fight any and every attack.
We can teach you how. Regards.
