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 adults and children of all ages with vaccinations as per the Dubai Health Authority schedule. In addition, we also provide travel vaccinations.
Our Vaccination Services Include:
Mandatory Vaccinations
These are vaccinations that are recommended as a schedule by the Dubai Health Authority. We provide children of all ages with these and also provide you with information and guidance. The vaccines help protect against many illnesses such as measles, mumps, Rubella, Chickenpox, Hepatitis, Tetanus and many more.
Adult Vaccinations
Immunity is just as much needed in adulthood as it is in childhood. We promote and provide adult vaccinations and boosters to prevent disease and build up herd immunity.
Flu Vaccines
The flu is an illness that is caused by the Influenza virus. These infections are particularly common in the winter season (“flu season”). The flu vaccine will guard and protect the body against this illness. It is a good idea to take this vaccine every year as the flu viruses change slightly each year so last year’s flu shot may not give you full protection!
HPV Vaccine
HPV is short for Human Papilloma Virus. HPV is responsible for many cancers particularly of the vagina and cervix. By getting immunized against HPV you will drastically reduce the risk of developing these cancers.
Travel Vaccinations
Some parts of the world, particularly tropical regions, pose the risk of catching certain diseases such as typhoid, malaria, hepatitis and yellow fever etc. It is wise to get vaccinated against these. Our clinic will advise you on which vaccinations are needed based on where you are travelling. It is a good idea to come to the clinic at the earliest possible opportunity before travelling as sometimes you need more than 1 dose of a vaccine to get full protection.
Catch-Up Vaccinations
Sometimes you or your child may have missed a scheduled vaccination or you may have recently relocated to Dubai. Don’t worry — we can advise you and your family which vaccinations your child should take as per Dubai Health Authority guidelines. That way we get you back on track to stay healthy and immunized.
