Vaccination - KK or Private Hospital?

It's time to look and ask around regarding baby's immunization, whether private hospital is better for Klinik Kesihatan is better.

I have never step into Klinik Kesihatan for almost 20 years, the last time I recall is going to Ayer Itam KK opposite Lai Lai, RM1 for fever, that time I was like 7 years old.

I heard from my friend KK's vaccination is better compare to private hospital because of the medicine that they use is different, but i also heard from another friend saying that now a days KK using all local made medicine so private hospital is better.

For Kyle, all his vaccination is done at PAH, and I can say that I love the service there and I have no problem of him having fever or swelling at the injection area after vaccination. Thanks all to attentive and caring Dr. Mary.

It is not guarantee that sending baby to private hospital means they won't be having fever or swelling, as there's 1 time Dr. Mary is on emergency leave so I have no choice for to go for Dr. Agnes, and yes Kyle came back with a fever and swelling at the injection area. So it is actually depending on how skillful the doctor is.If I'm not mistaken, in KK all the injection will be done by nurse instead of a doctor.

So let's see here's a few good points of KK that I know of:

1. It's free of charge.

2. The nurse will call and remind the parents on the vaccination date.

Other than that, I'm not sure because I haven't personally went to KK before so I need more information that I can get from friends or whoever that have send their babies there for immunization.

From my own experience in private hospital:

1. Attentive doctor explaining each vaccine that the baby is going to get, why and what is the purpose of the jab.

2. Doctor will be doing to vaccination, showing the medicine bottle and make the vaccination in front of the parents.

3. Most of the vaccination medicine will not cause fever.

The only downside is, it cost quit a hole in the pocket. So that is why hubby and I are considering KK for Keith's immunization. As I heard, if the first jab is done in KK, means all the jabs have to be come in KK and vice versa for private hospital, so it's very crucial for us to determine whether we're sending Keith to KK or private hospital for his jab.
