As a parent, your child’s health is your top priority. One of the most effective ways to ensure their long-term wellness is through timely vaccination. In Singapore, following the National Childhood Immunisation Schedule (NCIS) is the gold standard for shielding children from life-threatening, preventable diseases.
If you are looking for a reliable medical clinic to manage your child’s health milestones, MyDoctor offers a warm, child-friendly environment with experienced doctors who understand the needs of your family.
Why Childhood Immunisation is Vital
Vaccines do more than just protect your child; they contribute to “herd immunity.” When you visit a GP clinic for your child’s MMR vaccine or pneumococcal vaccine, you are helping to ensure that infectious diseases cannot spread to the more vulnerable members of our community.
Essential Vaccines for Infants and Toddlers
In the first few years of life, a child’s immune system is still developing. Our GP clinic provides all the essential jabs required by the NCIS, often using “combination vaccines” (like the 5-in-1 or 6-in-1) to minimize the number of injections your baby needs.
Key Vaccinations at MyDoctor:
-
- MMR Vaccine / MMR Shot: This is a critical defense against Measles, Mumps, and Rubella. The first MMR shot is typically given at 12 months, with a second dose at 15 months. Options of adding the varicella vaccine with the combined MMRV vaccine is available at MyDoctor clinics.
-
- Pneumococcal Vaccine: This protects against pneumococcal bacteria, which can cause severe pneumonia, meningitis, and ear infections.
-
- Hep A Vaccine & Hep B: Protecting your child’s liver health is essential from birth.
-
- Flu Vaccination: We recommend a yearly flu jab for children, especially those in childcare or school, as they are more susceptible to respiratory viruses.
Protecting Adolescents and Students
As children grow into their teenage years, new health risks emerge. MyDoctor provides the human papillomavirus vaccine (HPV), which is highly recommended for adolescents to prevent cervical cancer and other HPV-related conditions later in life.
We also offer updated COVID vaccine boosters to ensure your teenagers remain protected as they navigate busy school environments and social activities.
