Aslamualikum All,

I have a infant baby girl 3 months old. I need to know that is it must to go every time to the same hospital for vaccination where she was born or we can go anywhere in Riyadh.

First vaccination was done at the hospital where she was born. Second doze was given at her home country and now it will be her third doze,

Till now she is not covered under insurance then what will be the procedure to get her vaccination from any hospital.
If there are some specific hospital, please name them.

How much hospitals charge for vaccination.

Hi raoyasir,

As I remember for vaccination no need for insurance or even for (Iqama), it's a right for any infant to receive it for free at the governmental health centers. In each district you can find one, just bring with you the passport of the baby and the mother's ID.
Actually at hospitals it could cost more than 250 SAR and you have to pay cash since the insurance haven't been issued yet.
Note: It's better to go to the health center as early as you can (maybe 8:00-9:00am) as some times the vaccines finish afternoon.

Regards,
