Help for immunity: We have a great immune system to fight infections, but our "army" can battle the enemy much more effectively if we've seen the enemy before, so we can recognize the bad guys and attack them as soon as possible. Immunizations are a way to preparing the immune system to better attack infecting enemies, so we can naturally fight off infections before getting sick.

They prevent disease: Immunizations are one of modern medicine's greatest discoveries. They work by tricking the body's immune system to think it has been exposed to an illness in order to produce "antibodies" that help to prevent that individual from ever getting sick from that same disease. They are designed to prevent life-threatening diseases. Some vaccines (hepatitis b, hpv) are even designed to prevent cancer.
