Vaccination will not take in Pediatric emergecy hospital in Al-Sadd, secondly I dont think you can take vaccination at govt. clinics when you are on visit visa, you should have RP then it is 100% free. Taking a single vaccination at private hospital will cost 650 to 1000 Qr. which is very expensive. I checked for my baby at Appolo they ask QR. 650/- then I directly went to Muntaza clinic and took free of charge.

Trimurthi : the national health authority for vaccination is different than for medical check, it is not the big one.

Believe me i've bring my baby there for vaccination when her resident visa is not done yet. If u go to nearest health centre they will asking for green card n family visa then if u dont have they will ask u to go to abu hamour. Pediatric emergency in al-saad is not for vaccination, they will not accept vaccination there.

So, better check to the nearest health centre first. thx.

first you will have to take the vaccination card from your country go to ministry of health, they will give you a qatari vaccination card, so you will be able to track easily what your kid took and what's remaining, and then you will be directed to the health centre near your resident address, this is free

but the other option is the private hospitals and this will cost you depending on the vaccine from 200-500 QR and also you will need this vaccination card, also its asked for at admission to schools they ask for it.

Thanks for all your comments and suggestions..

My friend just told me to bring my baby to the Children Emergency Clinic. I think it's in Al Saad area near Toy R Us.

Is that public or private clinic? do i need to pay something? if "YES". How much money will i prepare?

you can go to the nearest health center....but for pedia- its usually monday ..am & pm. since yu are in visit visa, you should bring copy f your visa, and passport (if they will ask), and the most impt is the medical record of your baby in your country coz they will check which vaccine is neede to inject for your baby.

you will pay 30 Qrs. for the voucher but valid for 3 visits or 3 days...(sorry i forgot the validity of the voucher)

hi,

As of my knowledge, The National health center @ Abu hamour responsible for medical tests (once entered into the country,used to go for medical)only not for vaccination.

For vaccination u need green card for the kid, for that u have go to Health commision back side of Hamad hospital ( from sports R/A to Fire station R/A, take right turn from Fire station R/A) approaching 200 mts one very big building. But yesterday she asked me r u from india, then she told it's in other place,i.e opp to Aldana hotel near sana R/A, one more medical commission is there. But they will give green card only and after that u have to go to u r regular health center, they will give the registrastion no and vaccination timings details.

note: for issuing green card they need previous vaccination history record from u r county.

if u have any doubts call to medical commision near aldana hotel @ 4312054

Thanks

We usually get the vac at the Health Center Wakra or Airport. But they have special timing for this (sorry I dont have details).

Why dont you go to your nearest health center.

U better go in morning time, i thing the working hour is 7.00-13.00 am (that's common for public health service here). Well yes it's near from wooqood petrol station (the Big one, with car wash service n sidra minimarket) if the wooqood petrol station is in ur right side then u turn right, go straight then always in the right side of the road,and the national health authority for vaccination is in ur right side near other petrol station (i'm forgot the name). Dont forget to bring u & ur baby copy passport & VISA, or ID card if u have. Good Luck!
