Immunization

# #

Immunization is the process whereby a person is made immune or resistant to an infectious disease, typically by the administration of a vaccine. Vaccines stimulate the body’s own immune system to protect the person against subsequent infection or disease.


Immunization is a proven tool for controlling and eliminating life-threatening infectious diseases and is estimated to avert between 2 and 3 million deaths each year. It is one of the most cost-effective health investments, with proven strategies that make it accessible to even the most hard-to-reach and vulnerable populations. It has clearly defined target groups; it can be delivered effectively through outreach activities; and vaccination does not require any major lifestyle change.


We use various techniques, most commonly vaccination. Vaccines against microorganisms that cause diseases can prepare the body's immune system, thus helping to fight or prevent an infection. The fact that mutations can cause cancer cells to produce proteins or other molecules that are known to the body forms the theoretical basis for therapeutic cancer vaccines. Other molecules can be used for immunization as well, for example in experimental vaccines against nicotine (NicVAX) or the hormone ghrelin in experiments to create an obesity vaccine.


Centinela MD offers free immunization services to children less than 20 years old who qualify in partnership with the State of California, to provide free vaccination to all children that have California, maintain school vaccination records and update as needed.

I was open to trying anything that could help my skin condition. I was aging and my skin was showing it so I went to the Wellness and Anti-aging Program. I was amazed at the results. This is something you will have to try for yourself. I have never been happier.

I heard about this Wellness Program and I knew I needed help. I needed something but I didn't know what. What they taught me and the information I gathered was extremely helpful and I feel like I have a new lease on life.

If I could imagine what my life would have been like if I didn't go to this Program, it would be depressing. Instead, I am so happy my sister referred me to this center and the results are fantastic. I didn't know what to expect but now I'm glad that I found this Program.

This could have been a rough life but all of a sudden, I feel like I just gained my youth back. Ask yourself what you would give to be 20 years old again. That's what I feel like. And I'm 45. Try it for yourself. Live long and prosper.
