Vaccination Schedule

National immunization program vaccines must be given on schedule, including BCG, hepatitis B, polio, DTP, and MMR vaccines. Recommended self-paid vaccines: flu vaccine, rotavirus vaccine, varicella vaccine, and 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine.

Below 38.5°C, use physical cooling: remove some clothing, sponge with warm water, drink more fluids. At or above 38.5°C, you may give fever-reducing medicine (ibuprofen or acetaminophen). If a high fever lasts more than 3 days, or there is lethargy or rapid breathing, seek medical care promptly. Do not use alcohol sponging, and do not bundle up to induce sweating.

Below 38.5°C: physical cooling—remove excess clothing, sponge with warm water, drink more water. Above 38.5°C: fever-reducing medication may be taken (ibuprofen or acetaminophen). Persistent high fever above 3 days, lethargy, or rapid breathing requires prompt medical attention. Do not sponge with alcohol, and do not bundle up to induce sweating.
