Vaccinations
Vaccinations
Vaccinations, also known as immunizations, are an important way to look after health by preventing illness from a wide variety of infectious diseases. They are usually given as an injection and work by allowing your body to build immunity against such conditions as measles, mumps, Rubella, polio, tetanus, hepatitis, HPV, flu virus and many more. We provide children of all ages with vaccinations as per the Dubai Health Authority schedule, and provide you with the necessary guidance on which ones are right for them. We also provide a whole host of other vaccinations so please take a look at our main vaccinations section.
