Many of the expats living in Saudi Arabia have difficulties in vaccinating their baby. Getting an appointment for baby vaccination was not an easy task.
Recently government introduced a centralized system to book an appointment in Primary Health centers across Saudi Arabia.
Last year a spokesman for the Jeddah General Directorate of health affairs stated that vaccines will be free for all children inside Saudi Arabia including expat children.
You can do it in two ways:-
- You need to call 937(MOH Emergency Call Center) and schedule your appointment.
- Book online via Mawid app for vaccination.
