Vaccination Completion

To protect against serious and potentially dangerous diseases, children first get vaccinated at Family Care Centers and then in schools according to the birth-to-18 immunization schedule. If your child has not received all of the scheduled vaccinations (all doses of a specific vaccine), it is highly recommended that they complete them as soon as possible, either at school or at local health bureaus.

Vaccinations that need to be completed

• Hepatitis A vaccine.
• Hepatitis B vaccine.
• Vaccine for diphtheria, tetanus, and polio (inactivated).
• MMRV vaccine: for measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox.
• Chickenpox vaccine: anyone who received the MMR vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella without chickenpox.

Where can you complete vaccinations?

• Up to ninth grade: the vaccinations will be administered by the healthcare provider at school, free of charge. For information, contact the school nurse.
• Tenth grade and up to the age of 18: vaccinations will be administered in the vaccination clinics in local health bureaus (Hebrew) free of charge. To schedule an appointment, call the Ministry of Health hotline at *5400.
