Medical Information

The 2022 Southern Hemisphere flu vaccine is available at Surgery.

The WHO recommends HPV vaccines as part of routine vaccinations. HPV vaccines have been used in Kenya since 2006 but have been out of stock for the last three years. Simply getting the HPV vaccine at the age of 10-14(and catching up to 26yrs) can help protect against certain cancers in life.

Immunisation schedules for children and adolescents vary from country to country, and according to underlying health conditions. It is complicated, and parents also often have concerns about the safety of all these vaccines. Please come and talk to us and we will find a schedule that works for you and your child.
