Childhood vaccinations
We provide a range of vaccinations at The London Medical Clinic. In most circumstances, childhood vaccinations are administered according to the recommendations of the Department of Health, Hong Kong, unless requested otherwise. We also know how important it is that children travelling round the globe follow the immunisation schedule of their nationality as well and therefore additional vaccinations may be required. You will find our doctors are knowledgeable of the immunisation records for different countries and are able to review your records and adapt schedules accordingly. We are happy to discuss and address any parental concerns about vaccinations.
