Hi mummys,
Any idea if premature babies follow the same immunisation schedule as normal EDD borned babies? My boy is born at week 32 (2 mths early). When he was discharged, the nurse at KKH said the injections will follow from the date of first injection, ie the first injection at poly is on 11 Aug, the next one at 3M should be at 11 Nov or nearby. However, the polyclinic nurse said a different thing.. she said that my boy should have his 3M injections at the 3rd mth he was borned. Shouldn't delay.. Kind of confused now and not sure where to seek clarifications. If I consult a pediatrician, it will cost me $50.. the one my boy see charge by time frame.. Not too confident of all polyclinic docs after several experiences so don't really want to seek clarification from them. Thanks!
