Questions parents ask

Can I book a flu vaccine?

Yes. Call or WhatsApp 0333-5848698 to book the flu vaccine. Other vaccines are also given on priority when you book on the same number.

Are EPI vaccines free?

Yes. Free EPI vaccination is given at the G-16 clinic only, every Tuesday. Bring your child's vaccination card.

My child missed a vaccine. Is it too late?

Usually not. Most vaccines can be given on a catch-up schedule. Bring the vaccination card so Dr. Zohaib can plan what's needed.

Can my child be vaccinated with a mild cold?

A mild cold without high fever usually isn't a reason to delay. The doctor will check your child first.

What side effects are normal?

Mild fever, fussiness and soreness at the injection site for a day or two are common.
