Immunization service at Wigmore Women's and Children's Hospital, guided by scientific recommendations in the field of immunoprophylaxis, according to the World Health Organization and other international organizations, offers the following services:
- scheduling of vaccinations from the neonatal period
- preparation of individual vaccination schedule in following cases:
- catch-up schedule
- in special situations (immunosuppression, removal of the spleen, transplantation, hemostasis disorders, use of drugs containing immunoglobulins, chronic diseases).
Before vaccination, a pediatrician's consultation is conducted (for adults, the pre-vaccination checklist is being filled) with subsequent recommendations regarding possible post-vaccination reactions.
Vaccines are:
- safe
- effective
- prevent the development of severe complications due to infectious diseases
- preserve health and longevity, improve the quality of life
- contribute to the formation of herd immunity
By vaccinating your child on time, you protect your child and everyone else as well.
