Jaden's MMR Vaccination

Jaden was supposed to go for his 15month's injection, which is the MMR vaccination last month, but just so unlucky that he was sick tat week, n the apptment dates for vaccination were all fully booked, that's why postponed til today.. btw, MMR stands for Measles, Mumps, Rubella

Finally, he can go for his MMR vaccination.. as this injection is part of the full pkg tat we had signed up for, so no need to pay any other $$ liao.. Jaden woke up early, phew... so we were not late.. reached Jurong polyclinic ard 15min earlier to register.. when we went up to the 2nd floor, saw that the next queue number will b ours... so glad.. but bcoz of some reasons, we waited for quite a while too..

Jaden seemed to koe that he needs to see a doctor.. the moment he saw the nurse, his mood changed.. we expected his mood, so brought along his toy car, nursery rhyems.. but still did not improve his mood.. tried to divert his attention, but he was alert.. started crying out loud before the needle came!!

Though no much struggle during the injection, but his crying sound was bad enough... arrrggg.. Measured his weight, height, n head circumference... He is 81cm tall, 9.4kg, n head circumference is 46cm.. nurse said he is slightly under average, but still acceptable.. she said for his height, he is considered tall.. hope he is as tall as his dad loh!

We booked the next apptment in May.. for his last injection at 18 months.. n also routine checkup by the doctor.. after which, i will register him to go for Pneumococcal vaccination.. this is an optional vaccination, but i hope to let him have the jab, just to play safe.. it will cost ard $170, but this can use my medisave to deduct..

I was still thinking if to let him take Hep A & chicken pox vaccination too.. as these r optional as well.. will discuss with hubby.. most prob will go for it too.. it's better to go for prevention, isn't it? coz after his last injection at 18 months, the next injection will wait til he's 6 years old.. so still has so many years ahead, will let him go for other vaccinations loh.. dun say i kiasu, coz by the time u have your own kids, u'll b so scared of all those viruses which can actually harm your child.. n who suffers? u n your kid..

When your bb is born, u start to worry about this n that, it is unavoidable.. unless u dun care about your child.. but every injection will come with a bitter crying sound... arrrgg.. n this prince of ours not easy to coax at times... well, it's over, n we shall wait for the next in 2 months' time!
