Strong protection for active toddlers
By 18 months, your toddler is growing rapidly and interacting more with the world. However, the immunity built during their first year can begin to wane. The 18-month visit is a critical milestone in the Nigerian NPI schedule, designed to “boost” your child’s protection and ensure their immune system stays sharp and ready.
At Inocul8, we provide this essential booster visit to lock in long-term health as your child moves toward their preschool years.
What are you protecting against?
At 18 months, we provide a comprehensive defense against:
Vitamin A Deficiency: A vital high-dose supplement that boosts the immune system, helps fight off infections, and is essential for healthy eyesight and preventing “night blindness”.
Diphtheria: Protects the throat, breathing, and heart from dangerous bacterial toxins that can cause a thick covering in the airway.
Tetanus (Lockjaw): Prevents painful muscle spasms and “locking” of the jaw, which can occur after germs enter the body through common toddler scrapes or dirty wounds.
Whooping Cough (Pertussis): Strengthens protection against the violent, “whooping” cough fits that can cause severe breathing difficulties in young children.
Hepatitis B: Reinforces the shield for the liver, reducing the risk of chronic liver disease or long-term damage.
Polio: Ensures your child remains safe from the virus that causes irreversible muscle weakness and paralysis.
Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib): A final booster to prevent serious, life-altering infections like bacterial meningitis (brain swelling) and severe pneumonia.
