Vaccinating is the best protection you can give your child!

The World Health Organisation has stated that vaccination and clean water are the 2 most cost effective ways to keep infants and children healthy.

With all the new vaccines on offer it can get confusing to parents as to which vaccine  should be administered to their child.All our Sparkport clinics have qualified Sisters who can advise on what vaccines to give and can also structure the options according to your budget. Unfortunately,apart from our Pietermaritzburg branch, we are unable to offer the vaccinations for free.

Hassims Sparkport PMB still has access to State stock and can therefore give the vaccines used by the State free with just a minimal consult fee. However the newer Private vaccines are also available at our standardized vaccine prices.

Here is a list of vaccines that can be given,what age they are administered and the cost per visit. Excluding a R30 consult fee.
