Here comes another jab

I am bringing Hayley for her 12th month jab tomorrow - the MMR. I always dread when it comes to jabs. I hope she won't remember the previous nightmare and get over with this jab like a trooper. I hope she won't get fever too. Sigh... I really hate tomorrow. That is why it is now 12.32am and I am still blogging. I can't sleep. Now that she's much older, she is more aware of the environment and the things people will do to her. I am sure she is going to scream her lungs out and I will be crying with her too. Sigh......... sigh...... sigh........

Apart from the 12th month jab, there will be more
13th month - Chicken pox
15th month - 3rd Pneumococal and
18th month - 1st booster

According to the Immunisation Schedule provided by the specialist clinic, there is also Hepatitis A jabs which she needs to take at 2 and 2.5 years old. I believe this is optional. I will think about this when the time comes if its optional.

Apart from the above, she also needs to take MMR booster at 4 years and 2nd booster at 6 years and lastly BCG at 12 years.

So many JABS! They should just try and come up with a solution to merge all the jabs into 1. That would be a dream come true for all mommies :-)
