Hi,

Want to ask any of the parents here given your kids pneumoccocal conjugate vaccine?

Is this vaccinations important?

Thanks

Yes I do for my 2 kids
and it is a mandatory vaccine in Australia.

It is to prevent meningitis cause by Streptococcus Pneumoniae.

It is an expensive vaccine.

Malaysia price is still acceptable not more than rm500.

Thank q for reply.. will get more info from doc..

Where got lower than RM 500? I send my 2 kids for this vaccine consisted of 4 injections.

Total cost around 1k for each kid.

yeapp... almost 1k for 4 jabs (1 jab = RM183 + Rm30 for consultation)

hi, when/where ur kid have the injection?

i paid RM265/injection at Columbia Asia


back to TS question, this is a very important optional vaccine, if can afford then please do.

hi.. My son already took 3 jabs.. the fourth will be next year (when he is 1 yr ++ ). Jabs were taken at Hospital UMRA Section 13, Shah Alam (nearby Shah Alam stadium). Actually those who delivered their babies at UMRA can get optional vaccination at even cheaper price (RM699 for Pneumococcal + Rotavirus + mother's Pap smear) provided that you pay for them during the first week after birth. In my case, I was thinking to pay them another visit after I sent my wife and son back to her hometown but at last I forgot.. Damn... Rugi...

p/s: I don't know if the same promotion still available at UMRA. That was on January 2013

pneumoccocal and rotavirus vaccines are not listed in the compulsory list of immunizations by the government. However i will still get these 2 jabs for my kids as they are getting more and more common.

From my pead, the total course for both vaccines is abt RM1k to RM 1.2k.

According to my doctor, Rotavirus vaccine is not via jabs. It is taken orally. So, it should be cheaper than pneumococcal vaccine.

Thanks for the correction, i have yet to reach the stage for my baby to take it so i assume most vaccines are administered thru jabs.

Still, i think its good to take it.

My son is 1y and 4y still able to get vaccine? I read fron website this vaccine have 4 jap if above 3y is 2 jap...

Not sure if they allow installment plan? >.<

Ya... Malaysia government haven't listed yet.. there are some organization request to make it compulsory in 2012 til now no news..

Note that immunization schedules also differ by states. eg. for Sarawak, JE vaccinations are compulsory whereas in Penin Malaysia its not.

any one know how much it charged in Dr. Keo Clinic??

ur pediatrician charging less than RM500....?
where is it...?

Finished the whole course of pneumoccocal vaccine, total 3 jabs, each jab rm280

All advance country has made PCV a compulsory vaccination.
