What it involves
A vaccination gives your immune system a harmless introduction to a germ or part of one so that it can respond more quickly if you meet it later. A trained clinician gives most vaccines by injection, though some are given by mouth or nasal spray. Vaccines are given according to a schedule set by national health authorities.
Who it is for
Vaccinations are for babies, children, adults and older people according to age and risk. Travellers, pregnant women and people with certain health conditions may be offered additional vaccines. The World Health Organization describes immunisation as one of the most effective public health measures.
How long it usually takes
The appointment itself is usually brief. Some vaccines need several doses over weeks or months, and the clinic will explain the schedule.
What to expect
The clinician checks your vaccination record, asks about allergies and recent illness, and explains the vaccine. You may be asked to wait for a short time afterwards. A sore arm, a mild fever or tiredness can occur, and the clinic will tell you what to look for.
Aftercare
Keep your vaccination card safe and make sure the doses are recorded. Book any further doses at the right interval. Contact the clinic if you have a reaction that worries you, and seek emergency help for severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing.
When to seek it
Check your schedule with a clinic or the national programme, particularly for children, before travel and if you are pregnant or have a long-term condition.
What affects the cost
Cost depends on the vaccine, the number of doses, whether it is part of a public programme and the consultation fee. Some vaccines are free in national programmes in some countries. HealthNaro shows a price only where a clinic has supplied a figure with a source and date.
