Baby and Childhood Vaccination Schedule – Rustenburg
Baby and childhood vaccination is not a pleasant experience for mother and child but the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the discomfort that lasts only a few seconds.
Immunisation is safe and can save your child’s life.
It also protects others in the community by limiting the spread of infectious diseases and as some of the vaccine preventable diseases can result in ongoing medical care or even permanent disability, immunization can prevent families from having to suffer the financial burden of caring for a loved one suffering from a disease that could have been prevented.
