To the Pediatrician: It is never too late to start receiving vaccines. Vaccines are safe and they prevent deadly diseases. A Pediatrician can devise an accelerated catch up schedule that is safe and effective and help a child (or almost adult sometimes) be protected. Below is an example of a usual vaccine schedule. https://www.westerncape.gov.za/assets/departments/health/2016_schedule.pdf
