Vaccines

Immunizations are an integral part of preventing serious diseases. We follow the Czech Academy of Pediatrics Guidelines for the timing of vaccinations, this can be adapted according to the personal needs of the child. The examination by pediatrician before any vaccination is essential. General contraindications for any immunization are:

• Acute illness
• A history of severe local or general reaction to previous dose of the vaccine
• Children on high dose steroids, on imunosuppressive treatment, and those who have impaired immunological function should not be given live vaccines (measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, rotavirus or BCG)
