Folks,
I have been asked to get my Children vaccinated for Hep A/B and TB skin test.
Above vaccination are not standard vaccination in the country. Has any one has experience on getting their children vaccinated in Dublin for above? Can you recommend any clinic?
How about expenses for vaccination? Would Aramco reimburse me ?
Thanks

Hi leom,
Hepais B and TB vaccine are part of the standard immunization schedule in Ireland. Your children should be already covered for those. You can get the Hepais A done at your GP. It is not a standard vaccine in Ireland but they can order it for you. This is how we got our son's vaccine done.
Regarding the expenses, I am not sure if Aramco reimburses that. I asked the same question earlier to our relocation representative but could not get an answer yet.

Thanks koryHep B is a new 6 in 1 schedule. It was not part in 5in1, which my children had. TB skin test is different than BCG vaccine. I can easily get Hep a,b vaccines done. Can't find Tb skin test from GP. |

You do need the TB, but the HEP A and B can be done in KSA for free after you arrive. They both are a series of shots so the time span is better completed after arrival.
This is if you are a direct hire Aramco employee.
