UPDATED: A vaccine guide (from 0 to 3 years old)

I would like to share my son's record book that includes his immunization chart.

@11 months: Flu or Influenza (first dose)

His next appointment will be a booster for DPT+Polio+HiB (5-in-1 vaccine) on January 23, 2012 (a holiday :)).

One thing I really like about my son's pediatrician is very organized and he will paste the labels of the vaccine in the baby book pages. And also, he writes the price of the next vaccine so we can prepare for it.

Here's the summary and price:

Age: Vaccine	Price (PhP)
1 day:      HpB1+BCG	800.00 (with Philhealth discount)
1 month:  HpB2	800.00
2 months: DPT1+Polio1+HiB1	2,200.00
3 months: DPT2+Polio2+HiB2	2,200.00
4 months: Rotavirus1	2,400.00
5 months: Rotavirus2	2,400.00
6 months: DPT3+Polio3+HiB3+HpB3	2,800.00
7 months: Measles	800.00
9 months: Chicken Pox	1,900.00
11 months: Flu1	1,200.00
12 months: Flu2	1,200.00
15 months: MMR	1,200.00
19 months: DPT+Polio+HiB booster	2,200.00
22 months: Hepa A	1,900.00
24 months: Pneumococcal	1,700.00
26 months: Flu (annual)	1,200.00 (August 15, 2012)
2 ½ years: Typhoid	For sched

Flu or Influenza will be annually vaccinated as per his pediatrician, and will be given sometime this coming August.

It is really expensive to have a complete vaccination but it is worth the price since I can be assured that my son is protected against deadly virus. Though the vaccine will not guarantee total prevention or acquisition of the particular viruses, but you can assure of lesser complications on its onset. 

You can get most of the vaccines free in your local health center. Just get the schedule of their vaccination day.

Again, prevention is better than cure so better invest now on health than be sorry tomorrow.
