  • At each visit to a public health facility, your child’s weight, height and growth information should be taken to keep track of their vaccinations, growth and development milestones.5
  • Do not delay your child’s vaccinations, because it can leave them vulnerable to these vaccine preventable diseases.3,6
  • Vaccinations are provided free of charge by the South African Health Department at all public health facilities.7

Vaccinations recommended as per Department of Health expanded programme on immunisation – EPI (SA) revised childhood immunisation schedule from December
