This is again just something to share, on my personal experience. I bring JQ for seasonal flu vaccination upon his first pediatrician’s recommendation because she considers JQ among the high risk group as he has been admitted to hospital twice due to minor bronchiolitis (bronchiolitis is an infection of the bronchioles, or small lung airways). JQ has been born with very low birth weight.
So, we had him taken the fist jab at the age of 9 months, which is half of the dosage as recommended for babies. After that I do specifically check with the pediatrician when should I bring JQ for the second booster jab, and she told me no booster jab, one is enough. I’ve been reading information on seasonal flu vaccination before I decided to bring JQ for the jab, and the information I get is that for first timer who has never taken seasonal flu jab before, it should be 2 jabs with one month in between. But since the pediatrician said so, let it be as she should be the matter expert.
But when I visited JQ’s current pediatrician lately for his 3rd Pneumococcal jab, she went through his vaccination records and she was so surprise that JQ only took one jab for the seasonal flu vaccination. She told me no matter babies or adults, as long as you are a first timer for seasonal flu jab, it has to be 2 jabs! But it’s way too late for JQ to get the second jab, as it is already after 5 months from his first jab.
Well, there’s nothing I can do about it now, but I hope is nothing serious. I’m sharing it here, so that if anyone of you, not just your children but adult as well, who plan to go for seasonal flu vaccination and is a first timer, you might want to double confirm with your doctor on this.

Hi Ai Ping,
Natural food supplements will help strengthen and boost-up your kids immunity system. Are your kids on any food supplements?
Emily Wong – So far I just put them on LactoGG, Scott’s Emulsion and Kiddie Pharmaton as suggested by their pediatrician. Any good food supplements that you can recommend?
Hi Ai Ping,
Sorry for the delay in my reply. Have been quite busy lately.
I believe in nature source supplements for my family. I give my kids the health supplement from Shaklee. mainly like Vita-Lea (Multi-vitamins & minerals), Vita-C (vitamin C), Nutriferon (Immune system booster), Meal Shake (nutritious beverage & good source of dietary fiber. this is good for fussy eater). All these are plant-based vitamins & mineral and are free of preservatives, artificial sweeteners, colours, flavors & any other artificial ingredient. You can email me should you like to find out more about these supplements.
