【Don't delay! Routine Vaccinations for Children Shisei Dayori August (4)】
The
timing of vaccinations for children is determined based on the age at which
they are most susceptible to infectious diseases, etc. Delayed vaccinations
delay the development of immunity and increase the risk of serious infectious
diseases.
If
you are over the age for routine vaccinations, you will be required to pay for
the optional vaccinations. Do not delay and take the vaccination as scheduled.
