Tests & preventive care

Childhood and adolescent vaccination

Timely protection without unnecessary delay

Personal schedule

Previous doses, age, medical conditions and risk factors are reviewed at each preventive visit. Interrupted schedules usually continue rather than restart.

Mild illness

A simple cold or mild illness is usually not a reason to postpone; assess the child first.

After vaccination

Local soreness and low fever are common. Breathing difficulty, facial swelling, widespread hives or collapse require emergency help.
