SG Childhood immunization - Review

There are many injections for children since birth. Thus, to keep a record of these vaccinations, i decided to blog about it.


I obtained the following table from mum centre website.
Singapore Childhood Immunization Schedule




Optional Vaccinations Schedule



There is now 5in1(DPTa/HIB/Polio) & 6in1(DPTa/HIB/Polio/HepB) vacciniation that combines the jabs. HH is taking 5in1 as the polyclinic nearby does not have 6in1.

So far, she has taken the following:

(1) at birth : BCG + Hep B
(2) 1st month : Hep B
(3) 3rd month : 5in1 1st Dose
(4) 4th month : 5in1 2nd dose & Rotavirus oral

We plan to have pneumococoal after her 3rd dose of 5in1, thus not to conflict with the compulsary vaccincation schedule.

Polyclinic nurses always discourage parents to take any optional jabs before the compulsary jabs. very confusing sometimes we are trying to follow the schedule from recommended schedule.
