Keeping Your Child Protected With Vaccinations

Vaccinations are one of the most effective ways to prevent infectious diseases and their complications. They work by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies that can recognize and fight specific viruses and bacteria. By vaccinating your child, you not only protect them from serious illnesses but also help to prevent the spread of these diseases to others.

The schedule is designed to provide the vaccines at the appropriate ages and intervals to ensure the best protection for your child. We also offer catch-up immunizations for children who missed some of the recommended doses or started late.
