no BCG? my 19mths one had BCG on the day he was born leh.
Thanks Blobbi, but a bit too late now. However, I will remember the next time someone needs to do the MMR.Blobbi:
Sorry to hear about this, 2ppaamm.
What's very good to know is the MMR jabs these days mercury free. The ones given in school these days are too. Find out how you can avoid getting mercury into your kids' system and go private if it helps (private clinics may have non-mercury versions of vaccines). It's worth it.
Also, anyone knows why there's no more BCG? The 'boy-chase-girl' we used to talk about and had to take at P6? Did some researchers now say we don't need it? Aiyo! Then I had this lump on my arm for what har? -
i just checked the MOH website. Only one shot of BCG at birth, this is to protect against TB.
and yes, no mention of BCG at P6. maybe the BCG vaccine has improved? heng, i didn’t develope the lump after i my BCG injection. -
2ppaamm:
OT here, I like your cute little blobbi jumping. Everyone has changed his avatar...
Tks!
On a different note, my son's issues seem to have deteriorated since school started. And it's only been 3.5mths! Have been researching on causality. Think he's got some sensitivities/allergies. He's always had all these benign rashes, but I think they're affecting his behaviour now :(. Maybe it's the buildup over the years.
I'm almost hopeful that it's food issues, because this way I can do something about it.

Agree with you Blobbi. We specifically requested for a mercury free wan.

We waited until he was a mth b4 2 yrs. Even the PD indirectly encouraged us to, not only for this, but for all the other jabs.
BCG also waited for 2 or 3 days. Interesting how the nurses kept coming into my ward room to ask when when when....
If I do end up having another child, I will wait slightly longer. -

P6 BCG has already been made redundant. Can't remember which one, but it was shown that it was not effective at that age and therefore our children didn't have to take it anymore.i just checked the MOH website. Only one shot of BCG at birth, this is to protect against TB.

Medicine IS an experiment. An ongoing one. -

can someone tell me where to go for mercury free shots? We stopped all DS2’s vaccination after he reacted strangely post his 6-in-1. Within one week he went from a very active baby to listless and limp. He fell off my arm on the sixth day, I caught him but I was taken aback that he had absolutely no reaction to the near-fall - he just stared at me blankly. After one more week he was back to his old self but the incident freaked me out and both dh and I agreed not to continue with his vaccinations regardless of the controversies. But starting to get all the government’s letters for not completing his vaccination schedule. Can someone btdt tell me how I should proceed with this? Thanks!

Another gem of an advice. Thank you :celebrate:
What I trust is what I see, what I experience first. Then, my friends around me.2ppaamm:

You are v v (to the power of infinity) far from being blue (or blur - typo error?).
From many of your postings, you are a mother who ...
- will do anything for her kids (with limits lah, I suppose :D)
- has done her damnest best to provide a nurturing and conducive environment for your kids to thrive to the best of their ability (and will continue to do so)
- will pursue something relentlessly if it'll benefit your kids positively
You have my :salute: :salute:
On a separate note ...
I have to give credit to this lady, a doula by profession, who advised me that I had 'options' and that I had the liberty to choose them at my discretion if I so wanted. If I had not met her, perhaps I would not have been so well informed in arriving at decisions (after months of research/reading and speaking to some pple) with regards to my pregnancy and thereafter, jabs for my DS. -

O, where did you get that wise doula from? I didn't know they exist in Singapore. Yep, that was a typo from my smart (but difficult to use) phone. It's supposed to be blur. Aiya, still blur leh.
