Immunisation

The team of clinical experts at the CK Birla Hospital promote preventive medicine in their everyday practice. We offer a wide variety of immunisation and vaccinations for people across age groups. Our experts work in close liaison to help protect your family from topical and non-topical infectious illnesses.

Immunisation is a method of protecting people against harmful infections and illnesses before they come in contact with them. Immunisation is offered through vaccines. These vaccines work by promoting an individual’s defence (immune) system.

There are several different types of vaccines that are offered based on a person’s age and general health. Common conditions for which vaccines are available include:

• Measles
• Mumps
• Rubella
• Chickenpox
• Influenza
• Polio
• Hepatitis A
• Rotavirus
• Tetanus
• Hepatitis B
• Influenza
• Yellow fever
• Rabies
• Human papillomavirus (HPV)
• Seasonal flu

Different vaccines are given to people of varying age groups. Most people can seek vaccinations, however, your eligibility for certain vaccines may change depending upon your general health. You may not be eligible for vaccination at a particular time period if:

1. You have a high-grade fever
2. You are receiving a complex medical treatment like chemotherapy
3. You have had an adverse reaction to a vaccine in the past
