Vaccinations not only protect your child from deadly diseases, such as polio, tetanus, and diphtheria, but they also keep other children safe by eliminating or greatly decreasing dangerous diseases that used to spread from child to child.
Vaccinating children against diseases helps protect our community’s and our children’s health, and are considered a high priority in line with the Department of Health Abu Dhabi following the National Immunization Program, which was originally introduced in 1980. The program has been regularly updated.
