Additional Information

You should be aware of the exact date of each vaccine in order not to be late for any vaccination. It is important to understand the importance of timely vaccinations to protect your child from life-threatening diseases.

The green card for vaccinations of children has been laid off and the Primary Health Care Corporation has issued an improved booklet that includes all the information related to child health. This booklet is available in all health centers, and customers can get it from the health center where they are registered.

The State of Qatar orders its vaccines only from countries recommended by the World Health Organization.

Immunization gives more lives and prevents more diseases than any medical treatment. The vaccines develop the defence system in your body (immunity) so that you are protected against diseases. Vaccine preventable diseases are still the major cause of morbidity and mortality among children causing pneumonia, brain damage, choking, heart problems, paralysis, liver damage etc.

Basic vaccines are given at an early age and each of them has a specific time for starting eg. MMR vaccine is not effective till 1 year of age. Each of the vaccines have to be spaced by a defined interval to ensure their effectiveness. Hence, the immunization schedule of Qatar has been prepared keeping all these issues in mind.

The National Immunization Committee makes changes in the schedule according to the trends of disease prevalence in the State of Qatar. A total of 11 different vaccines were given till 2004 to protect against the major life threatening diseases of childhood. Recently, in 2005 a 12th vaccine, the Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine, has been added.
