Book on WhatsApp 050 213 2334Vaccines are one of the simplest ways to protect yourself and your family. At Dr. Sabah Al Sakban Medical Center on Najda Street, adults can get the influenza (flu) and hepatitis B vaccines after a short consultation with GP Dr Aiswarya Alexander, who checks your history, allergies and any previous doses first.
Flu vaccine
The flu virus changes every year, so a new vaccine is made each season. A yearly flu shot (flu jab) is especially recommended for people aged over 50, pregnant women, people with diabetes, asthma, heart or kidney disease, healthcare and hospitality workers, and anyone who lives with someone at higher risk. It takes about two weeks to build protection after the injection.
Hepatitis B vaccine
Hepatitis B is a virus that affects the liver and is spread through blood and body fluids. The vaccine is usually given as a course of three doses over six months. It is commonly required for healthcare workers and is recommended for anyone who has not been vaccinated, including people with diabetes or long-term liver or kidney conditions. If you are not sure whether you were vaccinated, the doctor can advise on a blood test to check your immunity.
Hepatitis B titre test – check your current immunity
A hepatitis B titre (antibody) blood test measures your current immunity level. The doctor uses the result to tell you whether you are protected, need a booster dose or need the full vaccine course. It is often requested for healthcare jobs and employment medicals.
Vaccine price – confirmed at your consultation
Special offer: GP consultation AED 50. Vaccine and titre test prices are given at your consultation, once the doctor confirms which vaccine or test you need. Daman, Thiqa and 14 more insurers accepted, subject to your plan.
