The kinds of Preventive Vaccinations
There are Polio, DPT(Diphtheria, Pertussis,
Tetanus), Measles, Rubella(German Measles),
Japanese Encephalitis, BCG,
as shown in the diagram. If your child was born in another country
and had vaccinations there, you should
attach the certification in your Mother-Child
Health Handbook.
Where can we vacciante them?
Only Polio, the Tuberculin reaction test
and BCG are provided at health centers. Others
are provided at all hospitals and clinics.
You should bring the Mother-Child Health
Handbook and vaccination questionnaire (if
you're a registered foreigner, it will be
mailed
to you directly from the health center).
Advice for vaccinations
Before vaccination, you are recommended to
consult with your family doctor carefully
and have your child's condition checked
by him or her. After your consent is given,
your child is vaccinated.
