Pneumococcal

Selama ni, (time Amir dan Aisha), aku selalu jab anak di klinik kesihatan atau klinik panel saja..so tak pernah la bayar dan tak tahu pulak bayaran utk envery jab tu..Ni utk Aryssa, aku p hosp berbayar sendiri, barula tahu brp kos jab2 tersebut. Mcm baru2 ni jab Aryssa 3 bulan..Jab DPT/Hib , yg ni cost nya dekat RM90. Lapas tu aku amik extra jab utk pneumococcal...yg ni RM 280++. Aku pun tak tau cost dia, masa nak bayar barula tahu.. Total semua RM 430.. Wah mahal jugak ye.. Terbayang la, kalau sakit tak ada insuran nak cover, company tak boleh tanggung , jenuh jugak nak membayar.. Yg ni baru sikit.. Kena opration ka, lg haru...

Orng tny aku apa tu pneumococcal. Aku pun tak tahu apa sebenra nya, main ambik ja jab tu, based on clinic nye jab plan. So td aku google pasal pneumococcal.

According to the World Health Organization's current estimates, one child dies of a pneumococcal disease every minute. Pneumococcal infection can cause ear infection, sinus infection, pneumonia, blood infection (bacteremia), and meningitis (infection of the covering of the brain). About 1 out of every 20 people who get pneumococcal pneumonia dies from it, as do about 2 out of every 10 who get bacteremia, and 3 out of 10 who get meningitis. Pneumococcal disease kills more people in the United States every year than all other vaccine-preventable diseases combined.
What is pneumococcal disease?

Pneumococcal disease is a severe bacterial infection caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, also called pneumococcus. It may cause pneumonia, meningitis or a blood stream infection (bacteremia).

Masa 2 bulan, aku amik Rotavirus vaksin utk Aryssa.. Yg ni pun cost nya RM100++.
