It seems nowadays many parents decide not to vaccinate their babies and children, at all..

I wonder any parents here have similar thought and why do u feel so?

some links i found stating the "ingredients" of the vaccines...

For me....I gave the necessary ones. I didn't give Xander the optional ones like chicken pox, pneumeccocal & rotavirus. I didn't want him to be given too many jabs in a short period of time.

Even the last few jabs..I was worried as they were linked to autism. However, I decided to go with it. I really really prayed very hard....and kept on looking for any side effects of the jab.

U see, having doctors as ur SIL and BIL is not all good.. SIL gave me this huge reaction and told me "not to believe what internet says..." She don't even have a FB account and do not know how to go online..

Then BIL asked me what jabs i wanna give, at that time, baby was 2 months old and i was clueless.. so i just told him... EVERYTHING that is necessary la..

Guess what... I sort of lost count on what jab my baby took!
One thing for sure is she took pheumococcal and rotavirus and the usual dtap.

whats the last few jabs u refering to?

me and my wife still thiking of whether to give our baby rotavirus vaccination, i have done little research and apparently this vaccination is in the recommended list by the WHO, CDC and etc in the immunization program

guess we have to go ahead, anyone of you know how much is the vaccination cost?

Rota is around rm150 pertime taken twice.
But older bb no need wohh.. I wanted to gib my bb at around 6th mth, my paed says too big de no need

thks for the info

ya, i have read some information said the last dose must be before 8 months old, there are 2 types of vaccine, one is 2 doses and another is 3 doses if i not mistaken

I've decided to give my baby only the necessary ones... Like I take my baby to Govt clinic and whatever mentioned in the book, I will give!

sbux...the jab that i was worried most was the MMR jabs. I even delayed the jab by about 1 month...coz i was worried about the side effects.

just give the recommended and necessary vaccine for your beloved baby.

if can afford, you can go for optional vaccine.

remember, prevention is better than cure. hope nothing happen to babies when we want to save money from vaccine. at the end, they suffer the most if not given proper/recommended vaccine.

Yaya me too. Heard that bb with egg allergies shdnt jab coz can die? Anyone can confirm? Wah when i heard this, guess i need to feed himm eggs be4 his 1st birthday to check to make sure

sometimes it's not about the money. I find that it's too much to put into a baby's system..even though it's called a vaccine. And like sbux said....there's lots of ingredients in the vaccine...some contains mercury and so on..so just imagine...you give 3 vaccines....the amount of mercury is injected into your baby's system.

So what are the necessary ones?
I was highly recommended by the paed at DSH to give him pneumococcal and rotavirus.
I guess I'm not going to take it.

Come to think of it, I did not take any but still here asking questions also after 20+ years living..

And btw, where can I send my son for the vaccinations besides DSH? Does normal paed clinics have it the same?

normal GP have the vaccines and its much cheaper than DSH. Who is your DSH paed? Mine is Dr Soh.. she is not bad...

actually, if this vaccines have harmful ingredients, why do the WHO still recommend babies to take them?

Dr Soh too..
Normal GP, are u refering to those normal clinics?

Normal GP is those clinics u see everywhere... usually they have it..
call and ask first. Definitely cheaper than DSH.

Okie...thanks for the pointers...ur baby get the vaccinations at GP clinics?
I was quoted roughly RM2k for 3 jabs from DSH at 2, 4 and 6 months.

2K? What jabs are these lar? I only spent about less than rm 80- 150 per jab. The jabs that i took is the mandatory ones that is required by our health ministry.

Thats why i said DSH cut throat lor...Actually I also not so happy with Dr Sussana Huam, my wife's gynae.
Dr Soh, my son's paed, quote me around RM600++ per jab...

Ur kid's jab, where was it done?

I went back to where i delivered..a maternity clinic along Setapak..Klinik Sarmukh.

thank you phythia79, i guess u just saved me nearly half the amount i supposed, and thought reasonable to be paid....

anyway, anybody around PJ or Damansara mind to share where is the best clinic for these vaccinations ?

i only know 2 at Damansara Utama, but not sure bout the service and charges yet.
