Vaccination

Vaccines are an important aspect of staying healthy and safe and that’s the reason it’s an important part of our family health checkup. We have a variety of vaccinations available in our clinic that can be provided to the members of the family as per age and other applicability. Our range of vaccinations comprise of:

Vaccination 0-6yrs : Vaccines are suggested for children between ages 0 and 6 years to prevent a number of serious or even deadly diseases. These include BCG ( which is given at birth ) and the others from 6 weeks of age DTP, Polio ( oral /injectable ), Hib, Hep B, Pneumococcal vaccines, MMR, Hep A, typhoid , Chickenpox, Influenza, JE, etc.

Vaccination 7-18yrs : The Tdap vaccine protects from 3 serious diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis. All three diseases have potentially fatal consequences.

Adult Vaccination : Immunizations are an important step in protecting grown-ups against serious, sometimes deadly, infections. Even if you were vaccinated at a younger age, the protection from some vaccines can wear off or the virus or bacteria that the vaccine protects against changes so your resistance is not as strong.Prevent all serious diseases by taking proper vaccination, at an affordable cost. Vaccines for adults consist of seasonal flu (influenza) vaccine, Td or Tdap vaccine (Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis), HPV vaccine, which protects against the types of human papillomaviruses (HPV), etc.
