It is extremely important that the mother and the infant receive all timely and necessary vaccinations and immunizations.Immunization is a proven method for the control and eradication of disease. We offer vaccinations for diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, measles, poliomyelitis and tuberculosis.
Immunization can prevent diseases that can be dangerous, or even deadly, to you and your family.
We offer a complete vaccine and immunization service, from babies and children to adults.

Frequently asked questions about immunization and vaccination
Different vaccinations will be given to different age groups, guided by the national vaccination schedule.
– All children below 1 year should have up to 5 vaccinations before their first birthday.
– All women of childbearing age (15 – 49 years), including pregnant women, should receive vaccination against tetanus.
Vaccines can be given in different ways, such as oral or by injection, and at different sites of your body.
Before administering a vaccine we will give you detailed facts about the immunization and the process. Contact us if you have questions or want to book a vaccination.
Most vaccinations have no serious side effects, but you may experience some mild ones. Common mild side effects can include:
– Pain or swelling at the site
– Mild fever and chills
– Muscle or joint aches
– Feeling tired
Often over the counter medication, such as painkillers, can help with symptoms. After an injection vaccination, the injection site does not need any special care but if there is pain or soreness applying a cold wet cloth can help. If you’re worried about any of the symptoms you’re experiencing, please contact us.
If you need any further doses, we will provide you with a return date.
