Routine Vaccination Completion

To protect against serious and potentially dangerous diseases, children are vaccinated first at the Family Care Centers and then in schools according to the birth to 18 immunization schedule. If your child did not receive all of the routine vaccines, it is strongly recommended that they complete them. The vaccines should be completed as soon as possible, at school or at the vaccination centers in the health bureaus.
