The South East Regional Health Authority (SERHA), in collaboration with the Kingston and St Andrew health department and the Comprehensive Health Clinic, is hosting a child immunisation campaign.
The immunisation drive is geared toward vaccinating children 0-12 years, within the Kingston and St Andrew region.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to take their children to the health centre to receive their first or second dose of measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccines, polio and third dose of diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (DPT) vaccine.
Other vaccines that will be administered include DT, HPV and OPV.
Parents are reminded that they should bring along their children’s immunisation card/passport.
The campaign started last Saturday (November 5) and will continue on November 19 at 8 am to 4 pm.
Persons can also visit the clinic with their children every first and third Tuesdays between 4pm and 8pm to have the vaccines administered.
Residents from Jones Town, Trench Town, Arnette Gardens can look out for the mobile unit on November 6 and 20 from 8 am to 4 pm.
