The table above demonstrates that vaccines are available for several diseases, including:
- Tuberculosis: The BCG vaccine is used to prevent this bacterial infection.
- Hepatitis B: The Hep B vaccine protects against this viral liver infection.
- Poliovirus: The Polio vaccine prevents this disabling and life-threatening disease.
