mommy2A:
I had my 6 year old son jabbed for d pneumococcal thingy earlier this year. His pediatrician recommended it for school/kindy-going kids since they are more exposed to all sorts of germs n viruses. Cost us about rm150.
Dunno for sure if it really works or not. But I do notice tht he falls sick less frequently as opposed to b4 taking d jab. So guess it works lah kot….
As with everything else…us mommies will always try to provide d best for d kids….d rest…redha n tawakkal…at least we’ve tried our best

Dear Anni, where are you staying?? I don’t know if this is of any help, but there’s a wonderful pediatrician named Dr. Serena Dass who operates her own pediatric clinic in Bukit Rahman Putra, Sg. Buloh. I cannot recall the exact price, but I can assure you that it is definitely not more than rm200.
We bagan seeing her after seeing Dr. Musa at DSH coz we find it more convenient as we do not have to make any appointment, plus she opens at night as well as on Sundays too. Isn’t that just brilliant???
My practice with both my children is to see Dr. Musa until they turned 1. After that I will find a pediatrician who is closer to the place we live. It makes more sense coz with Dr. Musa, u will have to make appointments and he only opens during office hours. I find this rather tedious and inconvenient.
Anni, the price for patent penunococial jab is rm300 where generic is rm150. This is the standard price for this jab. But some pediatrician only have patent drugs. You may sak the doctor before he/she proceed.
i stay at kota damansara. mommy2A & amanda, tq for the advice…will get more info from ped at pusrawi kota damansara since it near and the service also good…
my son took this vaccine and it require 3 doses where each cost RM300 like that. thats really expensive i tel ya
ya laa. but what to do…did govern hospital give this kinda service?
anni:- Govt hospitals do not have such services.. Too expensive for them and I think pneumococcal is not a complusory jab as yet. Govt only offers complusory jabs like BCG & maybe rubella.too bad so sad!
Hi. My son Mikael, 7mo got his pneumococcal jabs at Hospital Azzahrah, Bandar Baru Bangi. Rm280 per jab only….
Hi all,
Will bring my DS for this jab once he recovers from his fever.
RM150 is cheap mummy2A. Here in Bangi it costs RM280. Will get it from Az Zahrah also.
is it necessary to give pneumococcal jabs to ur baby? my son’s now 4 months. when is the best time for him to get that jabs? My son will get fever after every jabs (Bcg, Hb, etc..) for at least 1 1/2 days, so, will he get fever when he get pneumococcal jabs?
LiN,
In Malaysia, the pneumococcal jab is optional, but according to my pediatrician, it is compulsory in UK. My pediatrician recommends that my baby takes the jab at 5-and-half months old becos that’s the only month that has no any other compulsory jabs, and thus ease the mother’s financial burden!
yup..it’s quite expensive…
i take the pneumococcal for my daughter at her 7mths..and it cost us around 260 for each time( 3 times ).. n now we completely finish the jab, n d doc. recommended us to take the hepatitis vaccine as well, next month the 2nd dos for her.
each time we get the jabs, she’s not having any fever…
we took the jabs at child specialist clinic at puchong. d doc. also nice one…
I got one friend who seeks the paedritician at Taman Desa Medical Cent and since below 2 yr, the son’s been taking every jab mentioned, almost once every mth. She kiasu n rich, so she took everything.
My question is, are there side effects (other than normal fever)?
I dunno la . Have U hrd of any side effects?
Me too.. doc child specialist at Ampang recommended my hubby d jabs n he interested to take d jabs and it costs us 500++ for my daughters 4 yrs n 1yrs old.
is it rite?? once u take the jab u have to complete the other 2 doses within 5 month from 1st jab??
Hi liiya, which doc you went in puchong? can recommend?
Hi liiya, which doc did you bring your baby to?
my two kids started their pneumococcal jab since 7 months. From 7 months- 1 year old total have 3 time. There are 10% babies will have fever after this jab. The reason being they start from 7 mths is bcoz they start to get in touch with other kids on this time and those compulsory jab has finish on their 6 mths.
Wah, so many optional jabs… maintaining kids are getting expensive nowadays. The paed that I went today explained bout pneumococcal doses that can be taken optionally at 2,3 n 5 months and another booster at 18 mths. Each jab costs $288. She also mentioned about rotavirus that affects the bowel system which can be taken at 6 weeks n 6 mths, each costing $160.
Just wanna quip, r these jabs really help the immune system or r they goin to compromise the natural antibody system? you know what happen if we take various supplements, right? so, I’m kinda wondering, r we ’socially forced’ to follow the current trend nowadays?
ya I agree with Art4334. So confusing. so many different type of jabs and we dun know what is needed. We cna only trust the doc. Hope they will guide us well. U hear about some vaccines that can cause Autism?
now malaysia have vaccine called Pravenar. this is upgraded pnumococal vaccine. but some hospital still use pnomococal version. the price quite same. around rm280-rm300 per jap. i took ik at ukmsc, cheras for my baby when she 5 month until 1 yr. 3 jab during that time.
My baby is having constipation and he only 2 ½ months old. I realize after my baby take the 1st injection and he got constipation from then, I try to let him drink a lot of water but still the same.
My baby take the pneumococol on 4, 5 and 7 months..Rm280 at Klinik Chua..Kota Damansara..
