Which GP or PD to go to for 6-in-1 Jab (Snegkang)

[november]

My newborn coming to 7 weeks now. Sengkang Polyclinic doesn't have 6 in 1 jab and the nurse there told me to get 6 in 1 from GP outside when Baby turns 2 months old.

[apollo]

hmm why dont you ask about other polyclinic?? cos most GP dont have 6-in-1... but i know healthway medical has 6-in-1...

you may want to check their locations Welcome to Healthway Medical Group Website

[jxmummy]

You can go to Kidslink Children's Clinic, they are located at Blk 237 Compassavale Walk #01-532. They have 6-in-1 package, you may call them at 63884466 =)

Yup, Thanks. Managed to book appointment for Hougang polyclinic. But funny thing is, their 6in1 doesn't include HepB 2nd dose. have to go for separate. My baby, now coming 7 weeks, so have to quickly jab HepB first, then 3rd month then start 6in1

Yeah...theres this group called Central Clinic & Surgery that also has the 6-in-1. The good thing is that they are open 24 hours so you can get your jabs done at any time....I know that there is one in Tampines...a bit far for you though :P

Actually I thought the polyclinic has the 6 in 1 just that its chargeable?

Anyway there a few clinics that have the 6 in 1 jab...there is this clinic called Central Clinic & Surgery in Tampines which has it..good thing is that it is 24 hours...

Healthway and Raffles Med Group should also have these jabs...

[stonston]

Try Hougang Polyclinic. They have 5-in-1 & 6-in-1.

I was at buangkok medical centre/ clinic today n saw a few babies there for vaccinations. From what I saw posted on their board, they offer everything incl 6in1 n the optional jabs too. Good service too.

When you go to this clinic, please only go during the timing when it's Dr Elaine.

If it's the male doc, avoid at all costs.

Astar, for me I purchased a package of that consists of all compulsory jabs over the pediatrician. Costs me $597 (not including GST yet). For consultation, I have 10% off due to the purchase of the package, hence $31.50 (after the discount, before discount is $55).

Hi Stonston,

Just curious...what's wrong with the rest of the doctor? Except for Dr Elaine...she is good?

[joeyz]

when i discharge frm Mt. A, they have appointed me a pediatrician. She is good with babies only worry for me is it's burning my pocket$$. Is it compulsory for us parent to go back to the pediatrician, i've seen her twice and she told me wont need to go back until the jab (5-in-1 or 6-in-1) which is 1 month time. I do like the pediatrician but worrying about my budget and also if i take those jab in normal polyclinic, will there be any diff? Anyone try polyclinic jab?

you can try the pediatrician OUTSIDE... polyclinic has all compulsory jabs but if you wanna let your baby take those potional jabs, then must bring to pediatrician liaoo.. some GP also have the vaccinations, but you must ask around... diffe pediatrician charges differently but i think is + - 10bucks for each jab only... and polyclinic also, just that MOST pediatrician charge consultaion fee... you can ask around, cos some pediatrician dont charge consultation fee

I got bad experience (quite a few different occasions) with one of the male resident dr there. Very unprofessional. He made me wait for 1/2 hour after doing a urine test that only required 1min. Reason for making me wait: he was scolding his staff. Reason for scolding his staff: there was recycled paper at his desk. I was not the only patient there waiting!!!!!!! & when I asked him about it, he just ignore me. & when he prescribe medicine for my boy, anyhow prescibe!

Dr Elaine & Dr Liew (male doc) are good. Very patient, detailed, caring & friendly. They remember their patients also.

I won't say this clinic is not good. Dr Elaine & Dr Liew are VERY GOOD. It's that 1 black sheep that cause their reputation to be bad. When you go to the clinic, you observe. When it's Dr Elaine or Dr Liew inside, there's a long queue. When it's THAT doctor, there's very little ppl inside.

I even recorded when Dr Elaine & Dr Liew are in the clinic so we only go when they are on duty.

My first pediatrician visit was $76+ include a blood test to check on his jaundice level, 2nd visit is $55~ which include a powder to be sprinkle on his umbilical cord. I dont knw how much my pediatrician charge for consultation as the receipe is a whole lump sum with no breakdown but i suspect it cost about $45.

Pardon me for my ignorance, what is potional jab?

[diymummy]

Hi Joeyz, I think that was a typo...

Regina meant optional jabs.. Rotavirus and pneumoccocal vaccinations are optional. However, recently govt made pneumoccocal compulsory so it MIGHT be available now in polyclinics.

[apollo]

yaya should be optional.. pardon my typo error

Hi diymummy,

Thanks alot for clearing the air.

I heard frm my pediatrician about the above mentioned that made compulsory. I will check the bungkok polyclinic of the jabs. Maybe i should also check out how much my pediatrician charge and compare. :P
