Please note that this vaccine program is for all KAUST residents, employees/contractors and visitors
Flu vaccine and children:
Some children aged 6-months through 8-years require two doses of the flu vaccine. The first dose essentially "primes" the immune system, while the second dose provides immune protection. If your child is getting vaccinated for the first time or has only previously received one dose of vaccine, your child should get two doses this season. If your child has previously gotten two doses of vaccine (at any time) s/he only needs one dose this season. The second dose should be given at least 28 days after the first dose.
Please book a regular appointment to get your child the second dose if s/he needs one.
