Children’s Health
An accessible, friendly and helpful environment for children and parents.
At 232 Medical, our aim is to provide an accessible, friendly and helpful environment where parents can bring their children for a medical opinion, advice and treatment. We hope to make children feel as relaxed as possible for a consultation. There are many young families in the area and we have wide experience in dealing with their needs.
While most patients we treat have minor illnesses, we are always aware that the threat of more serious illnesses is real and will make the appropriate referral to a secondary hospital or consultant when needed.
Childhood Immunisation Programme
The Clinic recommends and provides the Childhood Immunisation Programme of the Department of Health and Children. Some parents like to have their children vaccinated against Hepatitis B. This is outside the routine vaccination programme but is quite appropriate. We give this, as we would also give children vaccinations for travel purposes.
The clinic can immunize your child against chicken pox using the varicella vaccine. This vaccine is ordered on request in advance of your visit, so please book in advance and mention to our reception that you want to make a chicken pox immunization appointment
