ESQUEMA DE VACUNACION EN KUWAIT

     Posiblemente uno de los temas que mas preocupa a los papas cuando se van a vivir a otro pais con su familia, pero especialmente con los hijos, aparte de los colegios, es el sistema de vacunacion, por lo que les puedo decir que en Kuwait, son estrictos en este tema y llevan el sistema de vacunacion universal, en su 90% a excepcion de la vacuna contra el Rotavirus, que debes mandar traerla de los Emiratos Arabes Unidos o de plano no aplicarla, aqui justifican que ya no es necesaria, pero en mi caso no quise pasarla por alto y aplicamos la ultma dosis con una que mandamos traer de EAU.  Como no es un tema en el que tenga que profundizar demasiado, les dejo el esquema de vacunacion integro (en ingles )para que lo vean. Las vacunas las ponen en las clinicas de gobierno distribuidas en cada area. Antes de ir es recomendable asistir con un pediatra para aclarar cualquier duda al respecto.
