13mo check up

We have delayed baby Yvannie's 13 months check up for almost a week. Reached Britannia at 10.00am but all the nurses are busying upstairs – labour room and theater room.

Dr Khoo calling us personally after we are waiting for half an hour.

Vaccine: Chicken Pox
Weight: 9.205kg (increased much compared to last visit, Dr Khoo suspected her pamper is full)
Height: 77cm
Head Circumference:44.7cm

Overall she is gaining and improving, only that we need to monitor her temperature for few days. According to Dr Khoo, US started given babies 2 Chicken Pox vaccinations, similar to the Rubella, 1st injection while baby in 12 months old and the 2nd injection while they are around 12 years old. But Malaysia hasn’t started this practice.

Beside, there are 0.1% of babies will suffer their Chicken Pox twice; it is much more depend on the babies’ immune system. Their body is unable to produce stronger antibiotic to fight with the bacteria.

After all the explanation from Dr Khoo while baby Yvannie also crying hard, he given us 6 packs of Friso Gold 3 as a free gift.

Anyway, this vaccination cost us RM130.00 without any medication. Expensive right?
