baby vaccination- polyclinic or private clinic

Essentially, all the compulsory vaccinations are FREE in polyclinics if your child is a Singapore citizen, but payable if you get them at private clinics. The optional vaccines (pneumococcal, chicken pox, rotavirus) are payable at both clinics, but payable using CDA baby bonus card. So essentially, for me, since I did everything at the polyclinic, I’ve not forked out a single cent, and I have enough money leftover in the CDA account to start my daughter off in preschool. Vaccines in the polyclinic are given by experienced nurses, so there’s no extra consultation charges. Some PD clinics will charge consult fees for each visit, even if it’s just for one vaccination (there are about 8 visits in total). The waiting time in polyclinic so far has been pretty decent and the nurses do an excellent job.
