I have come across this HPV immunization programme (to protect women against cervical cancer) from various sources before this. Not just that, there were also campaigns being launched to get the message across the ladies on the importance of this vaccination..Geee.... Even the hubs is alert about it and advised me to take the vaccine as soon. But knowing our PM has earlier announced that the Gov would allocate RM50mil for the HPV immunization during the tabling of Budget 2012 (read full news here), so I decided to wait and check if married women like me will entitle for the free vaccine or not.**kiam siap mode**For your information, private clinics are charging at least RM600 for three injections..Thanks to Alice Law when she posted at FB that she has called the clinic to check about the free vaccination. It is said that the vaccine is destine not only for 18 years old teen but also older and married women!**Means I can get it for free also!!** Hopefully there will not be many requirements set in order to get this free vaccine.
Do keep track of this website LPPKN
So good free dosage. I had it when HPV dosage is available in Malaysia. Costs me RM900 for 3 dosage. Expensive right?
ReplyDelete@Angeline....yes, it's expensive hor. I heard some frens get it at RM700.
ReplyDeleteWah, got free stuff, sure interested wan. *kiasu mode on* haha..
ReplyDeleteYeah, wait for govt subsidy or free jabs! remember last time the Hepatitis jabs were also very expensive when they first launched..

interesting! keep me posted when you take yours. not sure to take it privately or with the govt yet. hate the hassle of waiting on some days.
ReplyDeleteoo thanks...in thought it;s for girls only can
ReplyDeleteI heard there are some doubts or concerns about this vaccine? I wouldn't know what, never bothered to find out...but I've heard people discouraging people, telling them not to go for it.
ReplyDelete@missyblurkit
ReplyDeleteOkay....hope I am eligible for the free vaccine...ehehehe
@Small Kucing
ReplyDeleteInitally I thought so, but it seems we old ladies also can...probably there will be certain requirements.
@suituapui
ReplyDeleteEach time a new vaccine is introduced, surely there is a concern about it. for eg, flu jab..but I still let my girls take it. Prevention better than cure.
Until when this free injections?? Any clinics also have?
ReplyDelete@June is not being announced yet about it. You can check the website provided from time to time.

Thanks for the infor Ling but I do my yearly check-ups and this is one of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info, Mummy Ling. Hope to get the free jab:). The HPV immunization is like a MUST now especially for ladies.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info,Ling.......better check up with govt hospital at my plc here on this jab.
ReplyDeleteSo good ya! I have got the job many years ago.
