If your child needs hospital care
Vaccinations are given at the clinic, and most children have only mild, short-lived side effects. If your child is ever unwell and needs hospital care, Dr Jason, who already knows their health and vaccination history, can admit them to Hospital Aurelius and manage their care himself.
Admission is only recommended when Dr Jason’s assessment shows it is medically necessary.
How hospital care with Dr Jason worksAbout Malaysia’s National Immunisation Programme
Under the National Immunisation Programme, the Ministry of Health provides free vaccines for children according to a set schedule, starting from birth. These are given free of charge at government health clinics (Klinik Kesihatan).
Keep your child’s health record book safe and bring it to every visit. It shows which vaccines your child has received, and it is also needed for primary school registration.
The Ministry of Health updates the schedule from time to time, so please check the official source or ask the clinic for the latest information.
To check which vaccines are currently available at the clinic, please send us a WhatsApp message.
Official information on the National Immunisation Programme (MyGOV)Have a question about your child?
Send the clinic a WhatsApp message to ask about an appointment. Walk-ins are also welcome during opening hours.
WhatsApp is for appointment enquiries. If your child is seriously unwell, go to the nearest emergency department or call 999.
Questions parents ask
What side effects are common after vaccination?
Common reactions include soreness, redness or swelling where the injection was given, a mild fever, or being a little fussy for a day or two. These usually settle on their own. Dr Jason will explain what to expect and when to seek help.
Can my child still be vaccinated if they have a mild cold?
A mild illness such as a runny nose is often not a reason to delay, but every child is different. Dr Jason will check your child on the day and advise whether to go ahead.
What if my child missed a vaccine?
Bring your child’s health record book to the clinic. Dr Jason can review which doses are due and advise on how to catch up.
