Prices in the “Ukraine” column come from MediUkraine’s partner clinics. The Czech Republic and Turkey columns show the lower bounds of prices published by clinics there (for Turkey, also the Turkish Dental Association’s recommended 2026 tariff), collected in August 2026 and converted to US dollars at the rate on the day of collection. A dash means we could not find a comparable published price. In any country, the final cost is set by the clinic after an examination.
A child's immune system matures gradually: in the first years of life it has no ‘memory’ of most pathogens, so infections at this age more often lead to complications. Vaccination fills this gap artificially: the immune system responds to the antigen in the vaccine just as it would to a real threat, but without the disease itself. MediUkraine gives parents access to the partner clinic in Uzhhorod, which uses registered vaccines in line with the national immunisation schedule and international protocols.
The vaccination schedule is drawn up individually, taking into account the child's health, past illnesses and any contraindications. A paediatrician or paediatric immunologist holds a preliminary consultation, orders tests if needed and decides which vaccines the child will receive and in what order. This approach reduces the risk of unwanted reactions and makes the course more effective.
Vaccines must be stored in a proper cold chain, as their effectiveness depends on keeping the right temperature. Medical staff are trained in injection technique and in monitoring the body's reactions after the injection.
Vaccinated children catch vaccine-preventable infections less often and cope with them more easily if they do become infected, and high vaccination coverage holds back outbreaks in the community. To get started, book a consultation through MediUkraine: the paediatrician will draw up a schedule and give you the dates of the next doses.
Travel. Ukrainian airspace is closed, so there are no commercial flights. Uzhhorod lies right on the border with Slovakia and close to Hungary, so patients usually arrive overland from one of these two countries, by car, bus or train.
Visas. Citizens of the EU, the United Kingdom and the United States do not need a visa for short stays in Ukraine. Rules depend on your citizenship, so check your own before booking.
Safety, plainly. Ukraine is at war. Air raid alerts occur across the country, including in Uzhhorod, and an appointment can be interrupted by one. Several governments advise against travel to Ukraine, and while that advice stands, ordinary travel and medical insurance is often void — confirm your cover with your insurer before you commit to anything.
Language. MediUkraine handles correspondence, scheduling, the written treatment plan and the quote in English. The clinic's team communicates with international patients in English.
Payment. You pay the clinic directly. Our coordination service is free of charge for you.

Live attenuated vaccines contain strains of viruses or bacteria with greatly reduced virulence. They produce a full immune response without causing the disease. This group includes vaccines against measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) and chickenpox. They are not given to children with immunodeficiency, but for other children they are highly effective and give long-lasting protection. MediUkraine will help you check which vaccines are available at the partner clinic.
Inactivated and recombinant vaccines are made from non-living pathogens or their individual components. They can be given to children with weakened health and to babies under one year. This group includes vaccines against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, hepatitis B and influenza. Lasting immunity usually requires a series of doses, but protection against serious infections is reliable.
Combination vaccines combine several components in one product, so fewer injections are needed. This makes it easier and more comfortable for a child to complete the national immunisation schedule. At the partner clinic in Uzhhorod, staff will advise on a schedule that takes into account each child's individual needs and medical history.
The period after vaccination usually passes without complications and needs no special rehabilitation. Even so, parents should know how to care for the child in the first few days. A local reaction at the injection site, such as slight swelling or redness, may last 1–2 days. To ease discomfort, apply a cold compress for 10–15 minutes and do not press hard on the injection site.
On the first day, protect the child from strenuous physical activity, getting chilled and overheating. Drinking and eating stay as usual. If the body temperature rises above 38.5 °C, give a children's fever reducer based on paracetamol or ibuprofen at the dose for the child's age. If the fever lasts more than 48 hours, see a doctor.
The MediUkraine team will book a qualified clinic and pass on detailed aftercare advice. Discuss the recovery period and possible reactions with the paediatrician who gives the vaccination.
Childhood vaccination is a planned preventive measure that protects against infectious diseases. The child is given a product containing weakened or inactivated forms of pathogens, and the immune system builds resistance to them without the child having to go through the disease. In Ukraine, vaccinations are given according to the national schedule, which covers protection against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, hepatitis B, measles and other serious infections.
The procedure is carried out by qualified medical staff. Before the injection, the doctor always examines the child and checks their medical history and any contraindications. The vaccine is given by injection into a muscle or by mouth, depending on the type of vaccine. It all takes a few minutes, after which the child stays under observation for another 15–20 minutes so that staff can see any reaction.
Through MediUkraine you can learn about the qualifications of the specialists and the clinic's working hours, and get a detailed consultation on the vaccinations your child needs.
Vaccination in Ukraine costs noticeably less than at European and American clinics. A single vaccination for a child is 2–3 times cheaper than at private medical centres in the USA and Western Europe.
Ukrainian paediatricians and immunologists work with vaccines from leading international manufacturers that meet international quality standards. The vaccination schedule is in line with WHO recommendations and builds immunity to the main infectious diseases. Clinics follow cold chain and aseptic requirements during the procedure.
MediUkraine introduces parents to qualified specialists at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod. We provide up-to-date information on vaccination schedules and vaccine availability, and you can book a paediatrician without long waits.
The safety of vaccination at Ukrainian clinics rests on established protocols and national healthcare standards. All vaccines used are officially registered in Ukraine. Medical staff receive specific training in vaccinating children, including emergency care for allergic reactions. Vaccination rooms have refrigeration equipment that keeps vaccines at 2–8 °C.
Clinics that provide vaccinations follow strict hygiene rules: single-use sterile instruments, surface disinfection and medical records kept for every child. Side effects are reported to the relevant registers.

📍 Uzhhorod, Ukraine
A multidisciplinary hospital in Uzhhorod, part of a network of medical facilities in western Ukraine: an outpatient clinic, a surgical centre covering 15 specialties and a 30-bed inpatient unit. Its 52 doctors include professors and PhDs; many operations are done as day surgery, with discharge after 1–2 days.
Mariia BondarenkopaediatricianChildhood vaccination is the planned administration of vaccines that build immunity to serious infectious diseases. A vaccination teaches the child's body to produce protective antibodies without the risk of severe illness.
The cost depends on the vaccine, the number of vaccines given and whether a paediatrician consultation is included. Indicative prices in USD are shown in the table on this page.
Vaccinations are given according to the official immunisation schedule, from the first days of life and then at set ages. The paediatrician draws up an individual schedule, taking into account the child's health and any contraindications.
Before vaccination, the doctor examines the child, takes their temperature and assesses their general condition. On the day of the procedure, the child should be healthy, with no signs of a cold. Make sure the atmosphere is calm and the child drinks as usual.
If a child has mild symptoms (a runny nose without a temperature), vaccination is possible after consulting a paediatrician. In acute illness the procedure is postponed for a while; if your child is taking antibiotics, the paediatrician will decide on the timing.
The main reason is to prevent serious diseases: diphtheria, whooping cough, polio, measles, rubella, hepatitis B, meningitis and other infections that can have severe consequences.
Vaccination is prevention, not treatment. A vaccine creates immunity to specific diseases: the body learns to recognise a virus or bacterium and neutralise it before symptoms appear. So vaccination prevents disease but does not treat an existing one: a child who is already ill needs treatment prescribed by a doctor.
Reliable protection comes from following the national immunisation schedule of Ukraine. Some diseases have been eliminated globally or regionally precisely thanks to mass immunisation, as happened with smallpox. At the same time, vigilance is still needed, because some infections remain a real threat. If you need details about vaccinations for your child, MediUkraine will arrange a consultation with a qualified paediatrician or immunologist at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod, who will answer your questions and draw up an individual vaccination plan.
