Premier Vaccination Center
Right vaccine, right way — quality vaccines, strict cold-chain, and painless options for your child.
A Special Interest in Vaccination
Vaccination Done the Right Way
Painless Vaccination CentreDr. Kajal Shah has a special interest in vaccination and regularly attends conferences on newer vaccines — including combined vaccines (fewer pricks) and painless vaccines. The benefit your child gets from a vaccine depends entirely on how it is stored and given.
A vaccine whose cold-chain has broken is as good as no vaccine at all. That is why our pediatric team carefully maintains every link — so the protection your child deserves is achieved precisely.

Animal Bite · Emergency Care
Anti-Rabies Vaccination
Rabies means 100% death — but it is 100% preventable.
Rabies can begin within five days of a bite. A vaccine alone is not enough — the vaccine takes about 14 days to give full protection. The saliva, a scratch or a bite from infected animals can all cause rabies: dogs, cats, foxes, bats, monkeys, mongooses and camels.
Rabies Immunoglobulin + Vaccine
Complete protection combines ready-made antibodies (immunoglobulin) with the anti-rabies vaccine — for immediate cover plus long-term immunity. Don't take a chance: see a doctor the same day.
What to do
- Wash the wound under running water with soap, then apply an antiseptic.
- Inform a doctor for every bite or scratch from a stray or known dog/cat.
What not to do
- Do not bandage or dress the wound.
- Do not apply home remedies such as chilli, lime or neem.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the HPV vaccine and should my child get it?
The HPV (Human Papillomavirus) vaccine protects against the virus responsible for most cervical cancer cases, and is now part of India's national vaccination push following the government's 2026 HPV immunization programme. Dr. Kajal J. Shah, a longtime HPV vaccination advocate in Ahmedabad, recommends it for both girls and boys, ideally between ages 9–14, though it can be given later too.
Does Shaurya Hospital offer painless vaccination for babies?
Yes — combined and painless vaccine options where clinically appropriate, reducing both injection count and discomfort, alongside strict cold-chain-maintained, quality-assured vaccines.
What should I do if my child is bitten by a dog or animal?
Clean the wound immediately with soap and running water and come in promptly for anti-rabies vaccination — post-exposure treatment works best when started as soon as possible after a bite.
Where can I get the HPV vaccine in Ahmedabad?
Shaurya Hospital's Premier Vaccination Centre in Paldi, Ahmedabad offers HPV vaccination for girls and boys, with guidance from Dr. Kajal J. Shah, who has led community HPV awareness campaigns across the city.
