Home Children's Health Vaccinations & Immunizations

Vaccinations and immunizations are important to the health of your child. In simple terms, a vaccine is a drug that protects your child from getting a particular illness. For example, the Tuberculosis vaccine prevents your child from having Tuberculosis. Some vaccines are given to your child only once, while other vaccines require multiple doses.

All babies born at Oasis Hospital are screened and vaccinated as directed by the Ministry of Health and as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.  If your child begins his or her vaccinations late or falls behind schedule, our doctors will work with you to come up with a different vaccination schedule.

 

We suggest that you meet with your child's doctor to schedule appointments for these vaccinations.  Our Well Baby Clinic operates by appointment from 8:00am to 4:00pm Saturday to Thursday.  We also have three evening clinics which are open from 5:00pm to 9:00pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.
