Sweetmama,
I thought Jab is cheaper in Poly clinic.. 6-in one is only $300++, PD can cost about $400+

Who does the injection at the polyclinic? Doc or nurse?

Will the baby be weighed, checked etc? Or just go for jab and done?

The Nurse does the jab, weighing. Only assessment is done by doctor

my baby did his 6-in-1 jabs at this GP clinic in sengkang west (fernvale point), less than $285 last month, cheaper than polyclinic. I use baby bonus fund to pay.

Hi Miralyn

I check my bill, is $94 per jab for 6-in-1. total $282 for 3 6-in-1 jabs. My boy has completed all his vaccination, except for MMR. No need to pay consultation fee. Rotarix is separate charge. And for the flu vaccination, my boy didnt even notice he had the jab as the doctor used toys to distract him. You can call the clinic to check the price, not sure now has increased. Tel 64257255. I pay by baby bonus and medisave for pneumoccoal.

Dear mummies
Found this which may help you all save some money-a vaccination package!

Check out your nearby Polyclininc for immunisation package!! Its the most cheapest you can find. 2 weeks back went there and saw the packages like $350++ only for 6-1.
Dont worry about waiting for too long, if its baby visits, they will jump queue for it one and is really fast, like less than 30mins!

Chan KL> Does the package include consultation?

I heard there are more new vaccines available in the market which polyclinics does not offer. These are like the MMRV combination vaccine (MMR and chickenpox), one jab instead of two jab, less pain for our babies.

I find this parenting blog quite useful in providing information on the new vaccines:
