Qin had her Pneumococcal booster jab taken this morning. This would be her final Pneumococcal jab and before this, Qin has already been given 3 doses altogether since after Qin was admitted to the hospital for almost two weeks due to Meningitis when she was only three month old.
Each jab cost us RM280.00 and that totalled up to approximately RM1,120 inclusive of this booster jab to protect our princess Qin from the Pneumococcal disease which Mummy would said is definitely worth the price.
Dr. Shan Chee said that Qin’s weight is ok with a slight increase measuring at 7.8kg. And the next appointment would be the chicken pox vaccination.
