Hello...Do you let your child take vacination such as pneumococcal or rotavirus ? Why yes or why no ? Mind sharing your experience any side effect for baby who take or any problem for those who never take .

I gave my son all the optional vaccinations, on top of the compulsory ones - he's taking the last one for Hep A next month :) I think it's important to understand what vaccines are and what they're made for, before you decide whether you want to do a vaccine or not. Vaccinations are weakened/inactive versions of whatever you are vaccinating for - so in a way, you are voluntarily exposing yourself to it. In that case, why should we take vaccinations? It's because they act as a "training program" to teach your body how to fight against it, so if you were to ever get exposed to the actual one - your body is better prepared to fight it = you either don't catch it or have less complications/severity. Think of it as going to army training in case of war! That's also why it's common to have fever after vaccinations, simply because the body is working hard to come up with a battle plan :) I'd personally recommend taking up vaccinations because it has been known to help - maybe not entirely avoid it, but reduce the severity of it. There are also articles of children who have gotten complications and died from viruses that could've been vaccinated against, but they were not given. Either way, there is a list of compulsory vaccinations that children in Singapore has to take - without it being completed, you won't be able to get into primary school!
