The doctors at our medical centres in Dubai can offer peace of mind for parents who want to make sure their child is immunised against serious diseases. Our clinics offer both routine, scheduled child immunisations and vaccinations, and for travelling abroad.
Our dedicated team of doctors and nurses can advise you about which vaccines should be given to your child and when. In most cases, we recommend the following vaccination programme:
- 6-in-1 vaccine: this protects your child against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, Hepatitis B and Hib (Haemophilus influenza type b). It’s offered for babies at two, four and six months.
- Pneumococcal or pneumo jab (PCV): this protects your child against pneumococcal infection and is offered for babies at two, four, six and 18 months.
- Rotavirus vaccine: protects against rotavirus infection (causes childhood diarrhoea and sickness) and is offered at two and four months.
- Hib vaccine: protects against Haemophilus influenza type b (Hib) and is offered at two, four, six and eighteen months.
- MMR vaccine: protects against measles, mumps and rubella and is given at one year old and again at five to six years.
- 4-in-1 pre-school booster: protects against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough and polio and is offered at 18 months.
