Part of our vaccination center is that all the vaccines are given by the doctor himself with prior discussion of various types of vaccines available and pros and cons of all the vaccines. All the precautions are taken for the possible side effects of the vaccines and are well explained to the relatives.
We offer vaccinations approved by public health in Waterloo to protect people against many serious or life-threatening diseases, such as measles, polio, tetanus, diphtheria, meningitis, influenza, typhoid etc…
Staying up-to-date with vaccines can prevent the spread of disease to those who cannot be immunized including:
- Babies
- Young children
- Pregnant women
- Those with weakened immunity
Speak to Curex to determine which vaccines are right for you.
The health and well-being is continue to be top priority. Curex will continue to monitor conditions and consult with public health advisors and may adjust plans based on guidance as the pandemic evolves.
What is Vaccination?
Vaccination is a process in which an antigenic substance or vaccine that provides immunity against diseases is injected into the body of the recipients. This substance boosts up immunity in the human body and protects the vaccinated person from infection. The term vaccination and immunization have often used in a similar way mistakenly, but they have different meanings. Vaccination is the process of administration of vaccine while immunization is basically what happens to the body after being vaccinated. Curex brings various types of vaccines (Typhoid, Hepatitis B, Pneumonia, Cervical cancer, etc.) at your home.
