VACCINATIONS AND IMMUNIZATIONS SERVICES

Vaccines are biological preparations that produce a natural, acquired immunity against a specific antigen. They can either be live viruses, inactivated viruses, proteins and more recently mRNA. Which ever method used, the principle is the same, a small amount of antigen is used to illicit an immune response, and help prevent future infections. Most vaccines need a booster, because it requires two or three doses to get a full immune response. 

Here are some of the vaccines your local pharmacist can give:

1. Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG)
