Vaccinations

Why should your child be vaccinated?

Vaccinations are important, especially for children, as they are able to protect them against diseases. Some of these diseases are still present in society and can cause injury or death. Vaccinations are particularly important for people in the community who are unable to have them due to being too young, have severe allergies, weakened immune systems or for other reasons. If all other members of the community have the vaccinations, these people will be protected.
