Tdap Vaccination during Pregnancy

Hi all, for those who do check up in Klinik Kesihatan, are you offered Tdap or have to do at private? Because when I asked the nurse about vaccination, she only mentioned ATT...But according to MOH, Tdap supposed to be available to all pregnant women for free...If have to do at private, any clinics recommendation in Penang? Thank you...

Aiyoh, I totally understand your confusion lah, when I was pregnant, I also encountered this kind of thing at the klinik, where they seem to only push certain vaccines and you have to ask specifically for others! From what I know, Tdap should be available free at government clinics, but honestly a few of us mums have found that you really need to ask for it by name or they won't mention it, even though MOH says it should be there. Best thing is to call your Klinik Kesihatan first or even ask your doctor directly whether they have the Tdap stock, sometimes it's there but not offered unless you request, but if they really don't have it, your doctor can probably refer you or give you a list of private clinics in Penang that offer it during pregnancy. Better to clarify sooner rather than later, kan?
