Immunisation records for Pri 1 registration

[ZacK]

Hi just wanted to find out from parents who have gone thru the daunting task of registering their little ones for Pri1.


Read from MOE http://www.moe.edu.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/required-immunisation/ that kids must have completed all listed immunisations.

We didnt follow the immunisation schedules stated in the health booklets due to having read how some immunisations have gone wrong to affect the child adversely... So we delayed most of the required shots till our boy was much older. Anyway right now he has Hep B shots outstanding and just wanted to find out if the school will make any issue with this if we decide not to have him immunised before he starts Pri1?

Thanks.

hi ,i need some help on this:


Refer to the child’s Immunisation Certificates which is one of the required documents for Primary One Registration Exercise.

My Kid has not completed the 2nd dose of vaccination - MMR (Measles/Mumps/Rubella), will this affect /delay the registration this coming july ?
I have already have a copy of immunisation certificate which endorsed by the PD. ( but without the 2nd dose of MMR).

Logically the purpose of the immunisation certificates is for MOH to track where the kids are in terms of their vaccination.

My ds missed some vac and I think it was 2nd dose of MMR. Think he had fever, etc... and we didn't let him take the jab subsequently. As he is the 2nd child, he fall under phase 1 so the certificate wasn't required upfront. But if it was required, I think we were ready to give them the records with all the PD signature.

But what the nurses subsequently did was to give him the jab that he missed out. So he ended up with more vac as compared to his friends. You might want to consult the PD/ GP if he can still take the jab that he missed.

But if you feel strongly about the jab, you can always have it done by the doctors outside.

The measles shot must definitely be done before P1. My son is excused from some shots due to allergic reaction, but measles must be done.

hi,

as I know this 2nd dose of MMR used to be administered when the kid has reached primary one .(abt 6)
Only in these recent years ( think… is yr 2011 ) MOH has pull in date of 2nd dose…

So does it mean that the kid must have completed the 2nd dose before the pri registration?

My child had her 2nd dose MMRV jab taken last year when 5 years old and we were issued with the certificate to indicate completion of required jabs. Hope this info helps you as the child is suppose to acquire all necessary jabs before registration for Pri 1.

No MMR D2.


I had the same problem, there is no record of MMR D2 in the summary of immunisation but the polyclinic had issued me the certificate of vaccination.

I had checked with the polyclinic's staff (last Saturday): under the old system MMR D2 will be done at school, now they had changed it to 18 month (push forward).

therefore I can arrange with the polyclinic to jab it now or do it the latest in school.
