Ensuring the health and well-being of children is a paramount concern for parents and healthcare providers alike. Two critical components in this endeavor are childhood vaccinations and developmental screenings. These preventive measures not only protect children from various diseases but also monitor their growth and developmental milestones, ensuring timely interventions when necessary.
Vaccinations are a cornerstone of public health, providing immunity against potentially life-threatening diseases. By introducing a weakened or inactive form of a pathogen into the body, vaccines stimulate the immune system to recognize and combat the disease without causing the illness itself.
Vaccines have drastically reduced the prevalence of diseases such as measles, mumps, and whooping cough. Without vaccination, children are at risk of severe illness or even death from these preventable diseases.
High vaccination rates contribute to herd immunity, protecting those who cannot be vaccinated due to medical conditions.
Preventing diseases through vaccination reduces healthcare costs associated with treating these illnesses.
Directly protected from diseases and developmental delays.
Gain peace of mind and the opportunity to support their child’s growth proactively.
Reduced disease spread benefits everyone, especially those unable to be vaccinated.
Developmental screenings are assessments conducted to evaluate a child’s growth in areas such as speech, movement, and social interaction. These screenings aim to identify children at risk of developmental delays, allowing for early intervention.
Detecting developmental issues early enables timely support and resources, improving long-term outcomes.
Scheduled screenings at specific ages help track a child's progress and ensure they meet developmental milestones.
Screenings provide an opportunity for parents to discuss their child's development and address any concerns with healthcare providers.
Combining vaccination schedules with developmental screenings offers a holistic approach to child healthcare. This integration ensures that during vaccination visits, children also receive developmental assessments, streamlining healthcare visits and promoting comprehensive well-being.

In addition during the visit, our doctor will take measurements, perform a physical and developmental check and complete your child’s health booklet so that you can be rest assured that your child is growing up healthy and well.
With years of paediatric experience, our doctor will try as best to minimise both physical and emotional trauma at every visit, administering vaccines timely and safely with proper advice. Our doctor will also share tips and advice and answer any question about developmental milestones, especially for first-time parents!
Child vaccinations and development screening are by-appointments only at our clinic so that we can plan for your child’s visit by checking your child’s prior records on the system, ensuring the room is sanitised, and ensuring that your child will be seen on-time as scheduled. After the visit, we will book your child’s next vaccination on our calendar so that we will make calls or Whatsapp reminders to you when the time comes.
