Advanced Vaccination at Home in Dubai

We offer a comprehensive range of vaccines for home administration including the annual influenza (flu) vaccine, HPV vaccine (Gardasil 9 for ages 9 to 45), pneumococcal vaccines (Prevnar 20 and Pneumovax 23), meningococcal vaccine, hepatitis A and B vaccines, typhoid vaccine, Tdap booster (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis), varicella (chickenpox) vaccine, MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), shingles vaccine (Shingrix), and childhood immunisation schedule vaccines including DTP, polio, and Hib. Travel-specific vaccines are sourced based on your destination requirements.

Yes, in-home immunization is safe for children when administered by a licensed nurse following proper protocols. Our nurses are experienced in paediatric vaccination technique, use age-appropriate needle sizes, and employ child-friendly approaches to minimise anxiety and discomfort. The nurse monitors your child for 15 to 20 minutes after the injection, the same observation period used in clinics. At-home immunization can actually be preferable for children because it removes the stress of unfamiliar clinical environments and reduces exposure to other illnesses in waiting rooms.

Yes, all vaccinations require a physician prescription in the UAE. When you book a at-home immunization, our prescribing doctor reviews your health history, current medications, allergy status, and vaccination records before issuing the prescription. This review can be done via a phone consultation or during a home doctor visit. For childhood immunisations, we follow the UAE national immunisation schedule. For travel vaccines, we review your destination requirements and recommend the appropriate vaccines based on WHO and CDC travel health guidelines.

Timing depends on the specific vaccine. Most travel vaccines need at least two to four weeks before departure to develop adequate immunity. Hepatitis A provides protection within two weeks of the first dose. Hepatitis B requires a three-dose series over six months, though accelerated schedules are available. Typhoid oral vaccine needs one week; the injectable form needs two weeks. We recommend booking a travel health consultation at least 6 to 8 weeks before your trip to ensure all vaccines are completed on schedule.

Absolutely. Family and group vaccination sessions are one of the most popular uses of our mobile vaccination service. Our nurse can vaccinate multiple family members during a single visit, which is more convenient and cost-effective than individual clinic appointments. This is particularly popular during flu season when parents, children, and elderly family members all need their annual flu shot. Corporate groups can also arrange workplace vaccination sessions. Contact us with the number of people and vaccines needed, and we will provide a group quote.

After vaccination, mild side effects are normal and expected. These may include soreness, redness, or swelling at the injection site, mild fever, fatigue, or muscle aches for 24 to 48 hours. These are signs that your immune system is responding to the vaccine. Our nurse provides post-vaccination guidance including when to use paracetamol for discomfort, warning signs that require medical attention, and activity recommendations. Serious allergic reactions are extremely rare — this is why our nurse monitors you for 15 to 20 minutes after the injection and carries emergency supplies. If you experience any concerns after the visit, our medical team is available by phone.
