Why Vaccination Matters

Vaccines protect your child — and the broader community — by building immunity against infectious diseases before exposure occurs. Following the recommended immunisation schedule is one of the most important steps you can take to safeguard your child’s long-term health.

At SPOT, our team offers expert vaccination services supported by up-to-date clinical knowledge and the oversight of our specialist paediatricians. Every visit is an opportunity to ask questions, address concerns, and ensure your child is fully protected.

Our Vaccination Services

We administer all routine infant vaccinations in line with the South African Expanded Programme on Immunisation (EPI) schedule. Our team ensures your baby receives the right vaccines at the right time, delivered safely and with as little discomfort as possible. We create a calm, reassuring experience for both baby and parents.

Some vaccines require multiple doses to provide full protection, while others need to be repeated at specific intervals to maintain immunity. Our practice tracks your child’s immunisation history and manages their follow-up schedule proactively — including personalised catch-up plans for children who have fallen behind.

Protecting your child doesn’t stop in infancy. Several important vaccines are recommended during adolescence, including boosters for early-childhood vaccines and new vaccines relevant to teenagers and young adults. Our team provides adolescent vaccination consultations in a sensitive, age-appropriate setting.

Vaccination Advice & Guidance
We understand that vaccination can raise questions and, sometimes, anxieties. Our clinical team is committed to providing transparent, evidence-based advice to help parents make informed decisions. Whether you have concerns about vaccine safety, side effects, or your child’s specific medical history, we welcome the conversation.

Common questions we can help with:

  • Which vaccines does my baby need and when?
  • My child missed a vaccine — what do we do now?
  • Is it safe to vaccinate a child who is currently unwell?
  • What side effects should I expect, and how do I manage them?
  • Are there alternative schedules for my child’s specific needs?
