Varilrix
Protects against varicella zoster virus (chickenpox). After initial infection, the virus remains dormant in nerve ganglia. While typically mild in children, disease severity and complication risks increase with age. This live attenuated vaccine from GSK Biologicals (Belgium) provides long-term immunity and is well-tolerated with rare side effects.
Vaccination schedule
Routine: 2 doses, 6 weeks apart.
Post-exposure: Single dose within 96 hours (within 72h optimally).
MMR II
Contains live attenuated measles, mumps and rubella viruses. 95-99% effectiveness with protection lasting ≥11 years.
Vaccination schedule
First dose at 12 months, booster at 6 years.
Infanrix Hexa
Provides immunity against 6 diseases: hepatitis B, diphtheria, Hib, polio, pertussis and tetanus. Acellular formulation reduces side effects while maintaining high efficacy.
Vaccination schedule
For children under 2 years.
Pentaxim
Low-reactivity vaccine from Sanofi Pasteur (France) providing multi-pathogen protection. Administered intramuscularly (thigh muscle for infants, deltoid for older children).
Vaccination schedule
Primary course: 3, 4.5, 6 months.
First booster: 18 months.
Menactra
Protects against meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, W-135. Administered in thigh muscle (9-12 months) or deltoid (older children).
Vaccination schedule

Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a serious viral infection typically transmitted through tick bites. The disease can lead to severe complications including paralysis and multi-organ failure, which may prove fatal. Vaccination offers effective protection against this dangerous illness and is recommended for individuals aged 3 years and above.
Vaccination schedule
Two injections are administered 1-7 months apart.
Best started in autumn to establish immunity before tick season.
Gardasil
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common viral infections worldwide. While primarily transmitted through sexual contact, barrier methods do not provide complete protection as the virus can spread through any mucous membrane contact.
HPV vaccination remains the only reliable protection against both infection and its serious complications, including cervical cancer, cancers of external genitalia, anal cancer, genital warts, laryngeal papillomatosis

Approximately 25% of the global population carries TB infection, with significantly higher disease risk in developing countries and individuals with predisposing factors.
The TB vaccine has been in use for over 80 years. The WHO recommends universal neonatal immunisation within the first week of life.
Vaccination schedule
First dose: 3-7 days after birth.
Booster dose: At 7 years (if clinically indicated).
Persistent elevated body temperature lasting more than 2-3 days

How can I prepare my child for the visit?
Explain to the baby that the doctor will help him recover. For babies, bring a change of diapers, a bottle of water or milk.
Is support available for pediatric patients with chronic health conditions?
Yes, our clinical specialists develop individualized treatment plans for children with chronic diagnoses.
How frequently should pediatric consultations be scheduled?
For preventive care, it is advisable to present the child for a pediatric assessment at least annually. Regular examinations facilitate ongoing monitoring of developmental progress and health status. Infants require more frequent evaluations, aligned with the established preventive health schedule.
Upon manifestation of initial symptoms of illness - such as elevated temperature, rash, cough, or lethargy - prompt consultation with a pediatrician is strongly recommended. Self-medication may exacerbate the condition and precipitate complications. The physician will conduct a clinical assessment, establish a diagnosis, and prescribe an appropriate treatment regimen.
Is it possible to complete all required tests during a single visit?
Yes, Medincentre offers comprehensive diagnostic programs designed to minimize waiting time for results.
Is vaccination safe for children?
The procedure is safe. All vaccines undergo rigorous clinical trials prior to licensure and market release. Side effects are typically mild and self-resolving within a few days.
