if you can pay,go to any private clinique or hospital,meet a pediatrician,who can give him all the vaccins he needs(al emadi hospital has a good pediatrician dr bachar phone number 466 6009,652 4738).If you don t want to pay,then go to the nearest helth center of the place where you stay,there you can regester him with your health card ,meet a doctor who will give him the vaccins ,and it s free of charge.
