Babies who were born at Apollo First Med Hospital

satin · Apr 23, 2011

This is a question for mothers who delivered at Apollo First Med Hospital,Kilpauk...my baby was born at Apollo First Med and was seen by Dr.Ezhilarasan for the frist few weeks and we moved to another city and he had his vacinnation with other doctor from then onwards,the doctor who is seeing him right now suggested to go for swine flu vaccination,but I am really scared.

My biggest question is mothers who delivered at First Med,is swine flu vaccination included in your baby's routine vaccination like othyers like polio,MMR,etc and did he Dr.Ezhilarasan suggest you,I know drs do put swine flu vaccine if we request,but I wanted to know if thhis hospital includes this vaccination in their routine vaccination schedule?

Thanks

Hi Satin,

I delivered my baby at Apollo first med....The vaccination schedule card given by them doesn't mention the swine flu vaccine.

Hi,

My brother in law is a doctor(MD in anathesia) .I delivered a baby boy in April 10 and now he is 1 year old

I amconsulting in apollo for him.
My BIL adviced not to go for swine flu vaccine for my baby boy and me(Lactating mother). Because it was not tested for babies and lactating mother.Instead he vaccinated all other family members because they will be the one who willbe affected.

The vaccine istested for children above 5 years.
So pleas confirm with the paed before u vaccine ur baby
