"We are here to help you stay on top of both the Qatar immunisation schedule for children.”

Approach

We provide a comprehensive vaccination service.

For children we adhere to the Qatar Immunisation schedule (please note the BCG has to be done in a Government Hospital or Clinic). We also provide advice on how this interacts with your vaccination schedule in your country of origin.

We know this can be a stressful time for your little ones, and we always make sure that the process is as pain free and comfortable as possible.
