Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am planning to travel abroad with my almost 13-year-old daughter. I have taken both doses of vaccination. But my daughter is also asked to vaccinate. Doctors say it is safe, and many children worldwide are getting vaccinated. We are not planning to return to my home country again, so if my daughter gets vaccinated with the first dose here, will I get the same vaccine abroad? If incase that vaccine is not available abroad, what can I do? Is it essential for children to get vaccinated?

Please help me, doctor.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

In your home country, children are getting COVID-19 vaccinations done now. I recommend you inquire about what vaccines are available in the country you are traveling to and check if they are available in your home country.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
