Vacunas e inmunización

Vaccines and immunisations can help protect the body against infections. They 'prime' the immune system to recognise micro-organisms such as bacteria and viruses. The UK's Childhood Immunisation Programme includes vacuna contra el sarampión, las paperas y la rubéola (MMR). influenza (flu) vaccine, vacuna neumocócica y human papillomavirus vaccine (HPV). There are also many 'travel vaccines' for diseases such as tifoidea, fiebre amarilla y Encefalitis japonesa.
