Meningococcal Vaccine

Finally, Jo2 has completed all the required vaccines below 3 years old. As for Jo1, Meningococcal Vaccine was the last jab, but now Jo2 has another one due next month which is pneumococcal. I know that is the most expensive jab amongst. This is a new jab that was launched last year, and only 1 company monopolize that's why it's so costly. The medicine itself cost RM290 + consultation fees + prescription fees, at least I have to spend RM350 for each child. So, Dr. Sim informed me that be prepared to spend about RM700 if I would to let both of them to take this jab, since according to him, this virus attack children below 9 yrs old, and prevention is needed for Jo1 too. Sometimes, juz pity to see them suffer have to take so many jabs since birth.....
