哥哥 got his immunization at school!

It was a surprise to us as no announcement was made. He just came back to tell us he was given 2 jabs and a oral medication. The poor boy said they were not given any notice and just queued for the jabs. He said he had to wolf down his tea, as he was holding onto the injection sites with both his hands. So he and his classmates didn't get to go for recess while waiting for the bleeding to stop. He said he felt that his arms were "lenguh" after the injection, and it was like that for about a week (the way he said it was 手酸). Luckily he didn't have any fever, as some children might get fever after such injections.

Here's an immunization schedule for Malaysian children, to see what is in store in the future. I think girls get HPV immunization for Form 1 now? I've asked Baby Orange's paediatrician, seems like they do not give the Year 6 jabs that we girls get during our primary school time, as it's been administered much earlier. But nurse from 姐姐's paediatrician clinic mentioned they will get jabs at Year 6. So I'm totally confused. Will have to see how it is during her Year 6.

For 姐姐, she got her immunization at 5 years old as we followed the private hospital's schedule. We didn't know it is administered free of charge to children at Year 1 (7 years old). Thus she did not get her immunization at school but at the paediatrician's clinic at 5 years old. That's why for 哥哥 we decided to go for the jab done by government nurse at school.
