What Role do Vaccines Play in Reducing the Need for Antiviral Therapy?
Vaccines play a crucial role in reducing the incidence of viral infections, thereby decreasing the need for antiviral therapy. For example, the widespread use of the MMR vaccine has significantly reduced the prevalence of measles, mumps, and rubella, leading to fewer cases requiring antiviral treatment. Similarly, the HPV vaccine has decreased the incidence of human papillomavirus-related cancers.
