Kids born 2007 didn't have to do 2nd dose mmr rite? When I printed out vac certain it shows my kid missed mmr 2nd dose. Will this pose a prob during registration?

My ds is under phase 1. He does not have the MMR booster shot yet. The school accepted the application form with no issue.

No, it won't pose any problem if your child born before 2011 did not take 2 doses of MMR.
Babies who turn 12 months of age on or after 1st December 2011 should receive 2 doses of MMR vaccine as per above schedule. This info was extracted from http://www.hpb.gov.sg/HOPPortal/health-article/630

Nevertheless, I choose to let my child be vaccinated with her 2nd dose of MMRV at 5 years old. I do not want her to \"Suay Suay\" get chicken pox, this happens to K2 kids who only took 1 jab MMRV previously. The added protection is necessary for her to build up her immune system and I also do not want her to be vaccinated at Pri 1 and see her fall sick and miss school. If certain vaccinations can be taken earlier as advised by paediatrician, parents should go ahead to vaccinate the child first. It's your own choice ultimately.

dd1 didn’t take her vaccination, MMR booster, in P1, I didn’t give the consent. Instead, I took her for the jab during school hols. Heehee


Just like I will not give consent when it’s ds’ turn. I will arrange for the booster shot later.

ds had his chicken pox vaccination and pneumococcal shots separately too

was just wondering, does race matter? My dd is listed as Caucasian in her birth cert, following her daddy. How would that affect her in terms of school programmes etc?

Please state distance between schools and your house. Which phase will you be in? What do you look out for in selecting a school for your child?

Fairfield Methodist Primary because it has affiliation to sec sch and if I remembered correctly, the Fairfield Methodist Secondary School has affiliation to a JC.

Which second language do you want your child to learn in school? Chinese, Malay or Tamil? I think this will be your concern.
