Baby and Children Vaccination
Early immunisation is crucial in protecting your children against infectious diseases such as hepatitis B, tetanus and measles, that can easily be prevented. Armouring your precious ones with vaccination benefits them and other children in the community, ensuring a safe childhood experience for all.
What vaccination should I get for my baby in Singapore?
At Speedoc, we have prepared a comprehensive vaccination package as recommended by the National Childhood Immunisation Schedule (NCIS).
*Hepatitis A Jr. Dose 1 can be administered at 15 or 18 month, with the second dose being administered at 24 month.
What childhood vaccination benefits are available for Singaporeans?
Singaporean nationals can benefit from various government initiatives that are also made available at Speedoc. These include:
- All Singaporean children (who are on schedule for their vaccinations) may be eligible for a full subsidy (no deduction on CDA) for all Speedoc’s home-based childhood vaccinations under the NCIS scheme.
- Alternatively, as a Baby Bonus-approved institution, you can also use the funds in your baby’s Childhood Development Account (CDA) to pay for your baby’s vaccination programme in full or per visit. Click here for more information and FAQs on Baby Bonus and CDA.
- Fully-subsidised home-based vaccinations provide parents with the opportunity to save time, avoid the hassle of queuing, and avoid risking their babies to exposure. No hidden charges except for optional add-ons such as rotavirus.
How much do child vaccinations cost in Singapore?
At Speedoc we offer vaccination packages which include all vaccine types as per recommendations by NCIS.
Speedoc's Childhood Vaccination Package
Speedoc’s vaccination package comprises 6 vaccination time points and is priced at $2,267.20 (inclusive of GST) for babies who are not eligible for the subsidises. This package includes both mandatory as well as optional vaccinations under the NCIS.
Singaporean babies may be eligible to receive all the recommended vaccinations from 2 to 18 months fully subsidised under NCIS. Simply register via the Speedoc app to find out if you are eligible.
*The 6th and 15th month milestone will be attended to by either a doctor or a nurse depending if there were any medical conditions flagged up during the previous developmental screening.
Differences between PCV15 and PCV13
Why choose Speedoc for your child’s vaccination in Singapore?
While PCV13 is fully subsidised under the NCIS scheme, some parents prefer to tap on their CDA and opt for the optional add-on of PCV15 to replace PCV13 for better protection.
- Broader Protection: Offers protection against additional strains of pneumococcal bacteria not included in PCV13.
- Potential Reduction in Pneumococcal Disease: May help reduce the incidence of diseases caused by the additional strains covered by PCV15.
- Interchangeable Vaccines: PCV13 and PCV15 can be used in place of each other without issue (ie. parents can opt in anytime).

- Up-to-date documentation
On top of administering vaccines, Speedoc will also be on top of the vaccination health documentation which includes:
- Updating vaccination records in the National Immunisation Registry where you will be able to easily access an overview of all the vaccines your child has received.
- Conducting developmental screenings according to MOH’s Childhood Development Screening guidelines and updating your baby’s health booklet during each visit.
Safety
With the vaccinations for your child administered at home, there is no need to bring your child to a busy polyclinic, hospital, or clinic where they may be exposed to bacteria and viruses.
Convenience
Bringing your child anywhere outside of the home may seem like a daunting task in itself. With Speedoc, you can leave the baby stroller and diaper bag where they are and stay home with your child while the doctor comes to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Vaccines are made from the same viruses that cause diseases, but altered in a way that they will not be able to cause illness. When we receive the vaccines, usually via an injection, our immune system responds by creating antibodies that provide us with immunity against those diseases. Some vaccines are good for life (lifetime validity), while others may require regular booster shots to maintain immunity.
It is normal for your baby to cry a little during the vaccine administration procedure, but this should last no more than a few minutes. It is also common for your baby to experience slight soreness or develop a fever, but these should subside in a day or two. You might observe some redness or a small bump over the injection site, which should also subside within a few days too.
Institutions are within their rights to turn your unvaccinated children away from enrollment if mandatory vaccinations are not administered. Additionally, under the law, parents who fail to have their kid vaccinated against Measles and Diphtheria will be fined up to $500 for the first offence and up to $1,000 for the second or subsequent offences.
Upon submitting your interest in our baby vaccination programme via the baby vaccination form, please give our team 7 to 14 days to revert for details verification and appointment booking confirmation.
You will receive communication from the Speedoc patient care team via email or a phone call.
There will be a $196.20 fee (incl. GST) for any cancellations made less than 48 hours prior to the vaccination date and time that has been confirmed.
When our medical team is on the way to your location, you may track their whereabouts via the Speedoc app.
Certain factors may affect the expected arrival timing of our doctors and nurses, particularly during periods of heavy traffic or rain. Please kindly allow our team a grace period of 30 minutes to an hour from your scheduled appointment time, and we will get to you as fast as we can!
Your baby is unsuitable for vaccination if he/she has a high fever. You should, however, consult a doctor especially if your baby has had an adverse reaction to certain vaccines previously, or has a weak immune system. Our doctors at Speedoc are able to advise if your child is suitable for certain vaccines and they can offer support if you are unsure of how to manage your child’s symptoms after vaccination.
Infants and young children are more likely to get a serious illness from diseases as their immune systems are still developing. In severe cases, it may result in hospitalisation or even death. Delaying mandatory vaccines leaves your child unprotected when he/she may need protection the most. For example, diseases such as Hib or pneumococcus almost always occur before a child turns 2. Other diseases, such as hepatitis B and whooping cough (pertussis), affect babies more severely.
Mandatory vaccinations are ones made compulsory under the Infectious Disease Regulations. To date, there are two compulsory vaccinations in Singapore:
Diphtheria vaccination against diphtheria is administered as a combination vaccine with Tetanus and Pertussis(DTaP). This vaccination aims to provide protection against bacterial diseases which are fatal to babies and children.
Measles vaccination against measles is administered as a combination vaccine with Mumps and Rubella (MMR). This vaccination aims to provide protection against viral infectious diseases which are fatal to babies and children.
To respect the privacy and confidentiality of both our patients and staff, please seek permission from the attending doctor or nurse prior to any photography or video-recording during the appointment.
Yes, we will document your child’s vaccination records in his/her health booklet after each appointment.
Unfortunately not. For preterm babies who were born before the gestational age of 35 weeks, they are required to follow up with their external paediatricians for vaccinations and developmental screenings.
