Done 2 jabs, my pediatrician signed me up for a program. Buy 3 free 1 ! Last dose is free. One dose is 230, so at the end I will be paying 690 for 4 jabs.

Hi,
I plan to give mt baby after 1 yo. Then only need 1 jab. It is not about the money but not sure if so many vacs at such tender age good or not. Furthermore, kesian that he kena poke so many times. This is my personal opinion though. |

i didn't give this jab to my kids. Cause I don't like where this is headed.
The company know 90% parents sure will buy this for their kids. Cause prevention is better than cure. This kind of thing is what's happening in US. So medical company is making billions selling medicine that consumers are not even sure they really need or not. They just want to sell and this product is one very good example of how easily you can manipulate caring parents. I know some parents who does not believe in vaccination and hence did not even had their kids vaccinated for anything. And their kids still grow up to be normal. Not to say we don't need vaccination but sometimes we really need to open our eyes and think. So not be scared by everything about kids thrown our way. |

I had an elder cousin got the Meningitis in young age. In his 30+ years life, he has never live a day without diapers, he can never tell people anything, never been able to stand on his own feet. I can't tell whether he likes how he lives now, but neither his parents or him were offered any choice to prevent this from happening.
Many countries have made this compulsory free vaccine. Unfortunately it is still pricey and our government cannot afford to give for free yet. For the poorer family, people tends to have to endure more risks than those better doing. If you can afford, but just worried being ripped off by the pharma company, you rather save the money than give protection to your kids, you are selfish. You can save the money in the bank and hope one day your kids grow up will also think many old people have diseases or sickness but they not die yet. So my parents need no treatment either. When it comes to baby, I will never take chance! |

I agree. If we can afford we must give it to them. Take this as an insurance. We will never know what will happen. Dont let regrets haunt us.

Actually I was kinda coaxed into it. Doctor was busy that day so he talked so fast... he explained so fast about Pheumococcal and Rota virus then before we know it, he asked, OK?
We asked, is this a normal vaccination for baby, he answered yes. We didn't know it was an option. Well, we would have taken it anyway, but what I didn't like was we weren't told its an option. |

But what if he gets into contact with someone with smallpox one day? Yes, I believe in vaccine too. But this is because we were educated from young about them. However it doesn't means human can't live without vaccine. Look at our grandfathers and older generation. They have been living fine without vaccines. And some who even believe vaccines are doing more harm than good. One point to think about it that the modern medicines and vaccines could possibly be the reason that causes other type of diseases. And because of that, more and more medicines become available. People created B medicine to cure A disease but it causes C disease. So you need D medicine to cure C disease now along with needing medicine A. You see where I am going with this? Human body naturally is able to fight diseases. The body can adapt to new type of disease over time. However, due to the help of medicine, you body does not need to work that hard anymore. Therefore, you become dependent on medicine to cure common flu. When people in the older days just need to drink some chicken soup and so on.Kids grow up normal without vaccination if they don't get exposed to the virus. If they do, it's likely they will get it. |

Some cannot easily be fought off, like smallpox. We can fight off diseases naturally but in this age of artificially made diseases and the rate of mutation, we need help in the form of vaccination. If we can fight off diseases naturally, we would have adapted and be immune to HIV already.For small things like common cold and sore throat, I don't take med either and let myself heal naturally. But for more serious diseases, I need help. |

taking the second dose this Friday, no side effect, no fever... I think we should take it based on the growing trend of death caused by pneumonia
