Vaccination
At La Familia Medical Center, we take special care to ensure that parents are offered all the information they need to make the right decisions regarding vaccines, vaccination schedules, and post-vaccination care.
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:
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.
this protects your child against pneumococcal infection and is offered for babies at two, four, six and 18 months.
