Child Health & Immunisation

From the first vaccines to the last growth check, we keep your child's health on track, and we're here at night when a little one is unwell.

Vaccinations, growth monitoring and care for sick babies and children.

  • Open 24 hours, walk-ins welcome
  • Maili Sita, opposite Kiamaina Primary School
  • SHA accepted for eligible services

Every stamp in the booklet is a disease prevented

The Mother & Child Health booklet is one of the most important documents your family owns. Each vaccine recorded in it protects your child from illnesses like measles, pneumonia and polio. We'll help you keep it up to date and remind you before each visit.

What we offer

  • Routine immunisations following the Kenya Expanded Programme on Immunisation
  • Growth and development monitoring
  • Vitamin A supplementation and deworming
  • Care for sick babies and children, day and night
  • Nutrition and breastfeeding advice

FAQs

Child Health & Immunisation: your questions

What vaccines does my baby need in Kenya?

The national schedule starts at birth (BCG and polio), continues at 6, 10 and 14 weeks, then measles-rubella at 9 and 18 months. Our article on the Kenya immunisation schedule explains each step.

My child has a fever at night. Can I come in?

Yes. We are open 24 hours. Come in immediately if your child is very drowsy, can't drink, has a convulsion or is breathing fast.

Are vaccines free?

Vaccines on the Kenya national immunisation schedule are provided free in public programmes. Ask our team about any optional vaccines.
