VetaHumanz Need Vaccines too! Spanish Version

A masked child wearing a superhero cape leaps confidently as a friendly germ character rides on the cape beside the title “VetaHumanz Need Vaccines, Too!”

VetaHumanz Need Vaccines, Too! is an engaging, science based story that helps children understand what germs are, how their bodies fight illness, and why vaccines are important for keeping people and animals healthy. Through colorful illustrations and friendly superhero characters, the book explains how immune cells work, how vaccines are created and tested, and the many ways vaccines can protect communities.
