Mrs Ang:

Have anyone heard that a new Pneumococcal vaccine will be out around end Oct or early dec?

According to DS's PD, sometime in Oct.

She also mentioned that its v v painful.

To date, DS hasn't gone for it.

I may just decide to opt for this vaccine as PD is now recommending it.

My DD's PD mentioned there is a combine jab for Pneumococcal vaccine with one of the vaccine (heehee....I forgot which one) but the chances of having fever is higher if combine. I don't understand why Polyclinic recommends 3 jabs (2 + 1 booster) but PD is 4 jabs?

Hi Mrs Ang,


We paid $326 for the pneumococcal vaccine package (2 jabs + 1 booster) using Medisave.

Singhealth Polyclinic don't offer package for pneumococcal vaccine so I'm paying $169 more than you

Anyhoo, our DDs too old for rotavirus now.
But I'm also considering the chickenpox one for DD.
Very terrible for a young baby to get the pox
