There are almost no serious cases of childhood diseases, like for example polio or measles, in Sweden. The Swedish child vaccination programme has contributed to this.

The diseases that are included in the vaccination programme are still serious, despite modern health care. There are risks for serious illness and/or complications if you get the disease, even as a grown up.
