At Somerset Clinic, we provide a complete vaccination service for the whole family. From a baby's very first immunisations to adolescent boosters, adult and travel vaccines, and seasonal jabs, our team is here to help you stay protected at every stage of life. We are proud to offer every vaccine available in the UAE private sector, supervised by experienced British doctors in a calm, friendly clinic in the heart of Dubai.

Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to safeguard long-term health. Whether you are a new parent following the UAE National Immunisation Schedule, an adult catching up on missed doses, or a traveller preparing for an upcoming trip, you can count on us for clear advice, gentle care, and a fully stocked vaccination service.

A Trusted Vaccination Service in Dubai

Choosing where to have your vaccinations matters. Vaccines must be stored, handled and administered with great care, and patients deserve a clinician who can answer questions thoughtfully and without rush. At Somerset Clinic, every vaccine is kept under strict cold-chain conditions, sourced from approved suppliers and administered by qualified doctors and nurses.

We follow the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) and Dubai Health Authority (DHA) guidance for immunisation, and each vaccination given at our clinic is recorded on your official digital health record. This makes it simple to keep track of boosters, school enrolment requirements and travel paperwork.

Vaccinations for Every Stage of Life

Immunisation is not just for babies. Protection from preventable disease evolves throughout life, and our doctors will tailor a vaccination plan to your age, medical history, lifestyle and travel needs.

Travel Vaccinations and Pre-Travel Consultations

Planning a trip abroad? Our doctors offer dedicated pre-travel consultations, reviewing your destination, length of stay, planned activities and personal health history. We provide tailored recommendations on the vaccines you need, malaria prevention where relevant, and practical advice on staying well while you travel.

For pilgrims travelling for Hajj or Umrah, we can administer the required Meningococcal ACWY vaccine and provide the supporting documentation. For families travelling with young children, we ensure paediatric vaccines are timed appropriately for safe and effective protection.

What to Expect at Your Vaccination Appointment

• A friendly consultation with one of our doctors.
• A short medical history review and screening for any contraindications or allergies.
• A clear explanation of the vaccine, how it works and any possible side effects.
• Gentle administration of the vaccine — with extra care and distraction techniques for our youngest patients.
• A short observation period after the injection, in line with best practice.
• Your vaccination record updated on the UAE national digital health system, so it is recognised at schools, employers and border controls.
• A clear plan for any follow-up doses or boosters, with reminders where helpful.

Are Vaccines Safe?

Vaccines are among the most rigorously studied and monitored medicines in the world. The vaccines we use are licensed by international regulators and approved by the UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention. Side effects, when they do occur, are usually mild and short-lived — a sore arm, a low-grade fever, or a little tiredness for a day.

Our doctors will always take time to discuss any worries you may have. Whether you are a first-time parent, someone with a long-term medical condition, or simply someone who wants to be well informed, you will leave our consultation feeling confident about your decision.
