Your Doctors
IMC Clinics
Western standard professional medicine for children, adults, and the whole family
Our clinics employ family physicians - multidisciplinary specialists with unique training.
Family physicians aren't just an extra step on the way to a specialist. They are your allies who will guide you through all health issues: they diagnose and treat common and widespread diseases, make a checkup plan, advise on disease prevention (including vaccinations), and lifestyle changes.
If necessary, the family physician will refer you to a specialist and can coordinate your care.

A series of 3 vaccines, 2 ml of liquid is dripped into the mouth of the child
The vaccine is used ONLY in children from 6 weeks to 12 months

Contraindications:
Did you know that a huge number of gastroenteritis in children is caused by rotavirus?
Did you know that rotavirus kills about 400,000 children in the world every year? (due to dehydration due to gastroenteritis). Yes, of course, our mortality rate is significantly lower than, say, in Africa, but getting to the hospital with dehydration and a half-dead child is not fun at all.
Did you know that the risk of a child under one year of dying from dehydration is much higher than the risk of dying from bronchitis, otitis, pyelonephritis, and even pneumonia?
The good news is that a vaccine has been invented against rotavirus. And it's available at IMC now!
The vaccine is manufactured in India and has shown its high efficacy and safety (in fact, India is the best place to make and try this kind of vaccine!). This is a live weakened virus, injected in the form of droplets.

The course consists of three vaccinations:
Contraindications:
The virus causes inflammation of the brain - encephalitis. The course of infection is unpredictable: ranging from mild symptoms, to partial paralysis, to death in certain circumstances.
As with most viral infections, there is no treatment for viral tick-borne encephalitis, so prevention of this disease is very important.
You can prevent the disease by protecting yourself from tick bites (protective clothing, insecticides, timely removal of the tick from the skin) or by vaccination.
The season of the greatest tick activity begins at the end of March - as soon as the warm weather sets in.
IMC has an Austrian made vaccination: Pfizer - Tikovak and Tikovak Junior. The vaccination is very well tolerated and has proven itself well. It can be given to children older than 1 year.
