Top 5 Vaccines & Allergies Specialists in Amman 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

All five doctors on this page are paediatricians who list Vaccines & Allergies as a subspecialty. Their care is aimed at babies, children and teenagers. If you are an adult looking for allergy care for yourself, confirm with the clinic before booking that they see adult patients.

This area of child health usually covers two things:

• Vaccinations: routine childhood immunisations following the national schedule, catch-up doses if your child has missed some, and advice when a child has had a reaction to a previous dose.
• Allergic conditions: itchy eczema-type rashes, hives, sneezing and a runny or blocked nose that keeps coming back, recurrent cough or wheeze, and suspected reactions to foods or insect stings.

Good reasons to book a routine visit include:

• Your child is due for vaccines, or you are unsure which doses were missed.
• A rash, swelling or tummy upset seems to follow a particular food.
• Night-time cough, wheeze or a constantly runny nose is affecting sleep or school.
• You want advice before introducing common allergenic foods to a baby.
• Your child had a reaction after a past vaccine.

Mainstream guidance advises against cutting foods out of a child's diet on your own. Unnecessary restriction can affect nutrition, so discuss any suspected food allergy with a doctor first. Mild effects after vaccination, such as a sore arm, fussiness or a low fever, are common and usually pass within a day or two.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department straight away if a child has:

• difficulty breathing, noisy breathing or wheezing that gets worse quickly
• swelling of the lips, tongue, face or throat, or trouble swallowing
• widespread hives together with vomiting, dizziness, paleness or floppiness
• collapse, unusual drowsiness or a seizure, including after a vaccine

These can be signs of anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction that needs emergency treatment. Do not wait to see whether it settles.

How to choose among the doctors here

The order on this page reflects profile completeness, not skill. A parent comparing the best Vaccines & Allergies Specialists in Amman will usually get further by matching practical needs to each profile:

• Match the services to your concern. Dr. Suzan Abdelrahim and Dr. Issa Khashashneh both publish specific services for childhood allergy and cough. Dr. Sultan Al-Hantouli's biography mentions asthma and allergies. Dr. Sheyar Jabr's profile centres on vaccinations, growth and nutrition, which may suit families whose main questions are about feeding.
• Newborns. Dr. Sultan, Dr. Suzan, Dr. Ahmad Al Khabbas and Dr. Issa all list newborn care. Dr. Sultan and Dr. Issa also register a neonatology subspecialty.
• Insurance. Three clinics publish insurer lists: Dr. Suzan, Dr. Ahmad and Dr. Issa. If your policy is with one of them, start there.
• Hours. All clinics publish Saturday to Thursday hours. Dr. Issa and Dr. Sheyar open at 09:00, which helps with morning appointments. Dr. Ahmad's clinic stays open until 18:00, and so does Dr. Sheyar's from Saturday to Wednesday, which may fit after-school visits. Dr. Sheyar's Thursday hours end at 13:30.
• Distance. Amman traffic can turn a short distance into a long trip, so a nearby clinic makes repeat vaccine visits easier.
• Checkable information. The page shows each profile's verification status. Dr. Sultan's profile is the only one verified by the platform in this list.

What to expect at the first visit

The doctor will usually ask about your child's symptoms, when they happen, family history of allergy, asthma or eczema, diet and vaccination record. Then the doctor will examine your child. For vaccinations, expect a short check that your child is well enough on the day.

What to bring:

• your child's vaccination card or booklet
• photos of any rash or swelling, with dates, because reactions often fade before the appointment
• a short food and symptom diary if you suspect a food trigger
• the names of any medicines or creams your child uses
• previous test results or hospital discharge papers
• your insurance card and the child's identification

Questions worth asking:

• Which vaccines is my child due for now, and when is the next visit?
• Does the clinic keep this vaccine in stock, or do we need to arrange it?
• What reactions are normal after today's vaccine, and which ones mean we should seek help?
• Is allergy testing needed, and is it done here or by referral?
• Is there an action plan for us if a reaction happens at home or school?

Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment

None of the five profiles currently publishes a consultation fee, so ask when you book. Useful questions:

• What is the consultation fee, and is a follow-up visit charged separately?
• Is the cost of the vaccine itself separate from the visit fee?
• Does my policy cover vaccinations, or only consultations for illness?
• Do I need pre-approval from my insurer or its administrator?

Insurers such as Arab Orient Insurance, Solidarity - First Insurance Company, Euro Arab Insurance Group and The Arab Assurers for Insurance appear on the lists of Dr. Suzan, Dr. Ahmad and Dr. Issa. Some plans are listed through administrators such as NatHealth, GlobeMed or MedNet. Check the exact name on your card against the profile. Insurer lists can change, so confirm coverage with the clinic directly.

Getting there

Amman is spread across many districts, so check the map pin on each profile before choosing.

• Khalda: Dr. Sultan's clinic is in west Amman. This may be convenient for families in nearby areas such as Tla' Al-Ali or Dabouq.
• Shmeisani: Dr. Issa's clinic is in a central location opposite the Specialty Hospital emergency entrance. The hospital is a recognisable reference point when you navigate.
• The other three clinics are in the neighbourhoods named on their profiles. Use the profile map location to plan your route and parking.

For vaccine visits with young children, aim to arrive a little early. Clinics may ask you to stay briefly after the injection so staff can watch for any reaction.

Checklist before you book

• Confirm the doctor sees your child's age group, or adults if the appointment is for you.
• Check that the published services match your concern: vaccination, allergy, cough, newborn care or nutrition.
• Compare your insurer with the clinic's listed insurers and ask about pre-approval.
• Ask for the consultation fee and whether vaccines are charged separately.
• Ask whether the vaccine your child needs is available at the clinic.
• Check the confirmed hours, especially for Thursday or late afternoon visits.
• Prepare the vaccination card, photos of reactions and a symptom diary.
• Save the emergency number 911 and know the warning signs of a severe reaction.
