- Serious infections and high fever with warning signs
- Poisoning, burns and injuries

When to come
Do not delay if your child struggles to breathe, has a seizure, is unusually drowsy, has bluish lips or seems to be getting worse quickly. Bring the vaccination card and any medicines already given.
