Btw, as for multiple jabs in one options I try to refrain from taking up those for my children. I wouldn't know which jab they might respond to in case of onset of fever, rashes, (etc). I'd rather do one at a time so I can monitor which jab causes what reactions. Especially for DD1 since she was asthmatic and had many different allergies from food to the environment in general. Multiple jabs are scary.

Agree.

I try to take separate jabs. They can't remember the pain anyway. *bad mummy*

Also, introducing so many vaccines at the same time may cause body to go into overdrive. End up with high fever & fits isn't what I want.

Yup.

All bodies are wired differently and we do not know whether the body can take it. So, my personal take is not to take the risk.. \"just cos it seems easier to go with all in 1\".. i mean this is our precious child's health and well being we're talking about.. Not a MILO drink.

Besides if one is a FTWM it may require them to take more leave to care for bb with prolonged fever. Most of the vaccinations may not even cause fever.

The first MMR jab that chubs took resulted in half a day feverish condition for him. I only gave him one dosage of Dhamol and that's that. He was fine by lunch time. The fever after that MMR jab came after 5 days as informed by the nurse.

Chubs didn't cry. Only a short shock shout and that was it. So proud. :please: It's not often can see babies coming out from immunization room not crying at all.

It will only get better for chubs. My boy also becomes braver every time he goes through vaccinations. He used to cry, then progress to tearing and now, taking it all in like a big guy with a brave face. Yesterday when we brought him for 13 valent pneumococcal vaccination, the doctor was so quick and my boy was so brave that we only know it after the doctor commented that it is over and my boy is very brave.

Thanks for that assurance Baby_May_09.. :hugs:

Let's hope he'd be brave just like your boi! :please:

As long as you can produce immunization certificate during primary one registration, I suppose u can opt to delay.

That said however, the immunization are normally scheduled to be taken at different phases/ages of the child's life for a reason. You should research further on these important details prior to proceeding with your decision.

We are talking about a child's health here so better not take things lightly.

Over 300 if I recall correctly but not inclusive of optional ones like pneumococcal.. (etc)

[micollh]

pneumococcal is no longer optional since 2 years back. It’s compulsary !

Hi, can we give Rotavirus to 5 weeks old baby?

[buds]

Nope. On our end, pneumococcal was briefed to us as an option.
