Why It Matters

When enrolling a child in Nursery, Pre-KG, KG, or Primary School in Dubai, parents must provide an up-to-date vaccination record. This is an official requirement of educational institutions as well as local health authorities.
Ensuring your child is fully vaccinated not only protects them from serious infectious diseases but also prevents delays in school admission.

Required Vaccinations

1. Nursery and Pre-KG (Ages 1–3)

• DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis)
• Polio (IPV)
• Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type B)
• Hepatitis B
• MMR (measles, mumps, rubella)
• PCV (pneumococcal infection)

The vaccines administered during the first year of life provide essential protection against severe and potentially life-threatening diseases:

• Diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis — risk of severe complications and respiratory failure.
• Polio — can lead to irreversible paralysis.
• Hib — common cause of meningitis and pneumonia.
• Hepatitis B — affects the liver and may become chronic.

In many countries, including the UAE, modern 5- or 6-valent combination vaccines are used. These combine multiple components in one injection, meaning fewer shots, less stress for the child, and lower risk of local reactions — while maintaining full immune protection.

2. Kindergarten (Ages 4–6)

• Booster DTaP
• Booster Polio
• Second dose of MMR

3. School Entry (Around 12 Years)

• Adolescent DTaP booster
• HPV vaccine (human papillomavirus)
• Additional vaccines if required by schools (e.g., meningococcal)

How to Prepare for School Admission

1. Check your child’s vaccination card early.

At KindCare Medical Center, we review your child’s immunization history and identify any missed vaccines. If necessary, we create a safe and efficient catch-up schedule.
