Keeping Cedric Safe

We are going to Cedric’s pediatrician today for Cedric’s second dose of vaccine. Cedric will be turning 2 months this coming July 15 and he will need all the protection he can get. There are two ways of obtaining the vaccines important for Cedric’s growth and health. One is he can get it from an urban medical center for free however you have to be back every week and make sure that you are early or you will end up not getting anything because the supply has already run out. The drawback is that the baby will get fever as a reaction. The other way of acquiring vaccine is asking it from your own pediatrician. Pediatricians nowadays would recommend 5in1 or 6in1 formula wherein 5 or 6 vaccines can be given once. But this is an expensive method though. For one session, it will cost 3000 to 4000 pesos. However, this method is better because your baby will not get fever.

For me, I will prefer the latter one because I do not have the courage to endure 6 sessions and watching my baby cry everytime he is injected. Second, I do not want my baby to have fever. My baby’s comfort is more important to me than the money I am spending so to be able to do this I will save and cut off all other unnecessary expense. Keeping Cedric safe means keeping him healthy and happy!
