Vaccines protect children from serious infections such as measles, whooping cough, polio, hepatitis B and others. Giving them on time, according to the recommended schedule, gives the best protection.

Bring your child's vaccination card. Tell the doctor if your child is unwell or has had a reaction to a vaccine before.
During the procedure
The paediatrician checks your child and the vaccine is given by injection or by mouth.
After the procedure
You are asked to wait a short while after the vaccine in case of any immediate reaction.
Recovery and aftercare
Mild fever, fussiness or soreness at the injection site for a day or two is common.
- Give fever medicine only as advised by the doctor
- Seek help for high fever, persistent crying, swelling of the face or difficulty breathing
