A Parent's Guide to Childhood Vaccinations

Dr. Muhammad Islam Naveed 28 March 2026 6 min read

Vaccines are one of the safest, most effective ways to protect your child. Here's what to expect and when.

Vaccination trains your child's immune system to fight serious diseases before they ever encounter them. The national EPI schedule covers the most important ones.

Mild soreness or a low fever after a vaccine is normal and short-lived. Serious reactions are very rare, and our team is always on hand.

Keep your child's vaccination card safe, or use our digital record so you never lose track of the next due date.

If your child missed a dose, it's rarely too late to catch up. Talk to our paediatric team and we'll build a safe schedule.
