How to Save More on Vaccines

We all know that vaccines are essential to our life. According to WHO, vaccines save 2.5 million children’s lives worldwide. Vaccines are not only for saving our children but also to protect other children and adults in our community by reducing the chance of spreading the disease from person to person. 

But we could not deny that not all people can afford vaccines especially if we have a newborn who needs vaccines almost every month. I am fortunate because there is a health center in our area and because of that I know that there will be urgent care near me

Even though we have a public health center that provides free vaccines but the reality is not all vaccines that we need are available in the center so we have no choice but to go to a private hospital or just let go of the vaccines if we don't have a budget.

We are fortunate because our health card covers vaccines, all we have to do is pay and reimburse the amount. But for those who don’t have that benefits the question is, is there any way that we can save more on vaccines? 


I found one mompreneur who offers affordable vaccines. These pedia and adult vaccines are direct from manufacturers, you can buy the vaccines from her and then bring them to your doctor.



I’m not affiliated with the business, I’m just sharing with you an option if you want to save on your vaccines. Here are the details but you can also check the FB page for more information, just click here

Save a lot from vaccines with these easy steps: 


HOW TO ORDER: 


1) Inquire if your required vaccine is available

2) Deposit payment to BPI account. Email/post deposit slip. 
3) Choose a day and time: M, W, F 9am onwards (order 1 week in advance)
4) Meet-up at desired MRT/LRT1/LRT2 station5) 
Text your name and shirt color (for easy recognition)

MEET-UP PLACE: LRT1, LRT2, and MRT stations

SCHEDULE: Monday – Wednesday - Friday (9am onwards)
MEET-UP REMINDER: Please be on time.
Bring an insulated cooler with an ice pack (available for sale @ 70 each)
*If you don’t have a cooler at hand, additional P100 for a container, ice pack, and fabric (for the cold chain to be properly maintained)

  3. My kids have their vaccines c/o my aunt in Bicol. I am looking for a pedia near us who can administer these vaccines since most pedias don't allow them if these medicines doesn't come from them. I will take note of this too.

  6. Oo super expensive ang vaccines! Tapos our health center pa is sobrang nakakainis kaya hindi talaga namin na-avail ang free vaccine dun. This is a good option. :)

  9. Oh I have never heard of this option before! I doubt if they can cater to Mindanao clients though. We mainly got vaccinated lang in our doctor's clinic and in the baranggay center. The latter was such a great help!

  10. My son's vaccination program is thru his pedia. I agree that it is really expensive and not all can afford to visit their own pedia but I believe that "prevention is better than cure".

    I think there are vaccines in baranggay health centers which can be avail for free.

  11. I agree that vaccines are so expensive and this option will be helpful especially if the vaccine is not available at our health center. Makakasave pa din kahit papaano.

  12. Not all vaccines at health centers are that good. If you know what I mean. It;s better to pay and feel protected.

  13. Vaccines are important but I've become weary of injecting my children with all the vaccines that have been concocted. I've done both a health center and through a private clinic and in the end I really believe that the best vaccine in the world is breastmilk. This is the best way to strengthen your child and make his/her immune system as strong as it can possibly be.
