default
Posted on Wed, 22 Feb 2017
Question: I need get checked for Hep C and HIV and am required to get vaccinated for MMR, Hep B, Tetanus and Chicken pox before I begin my studies. I want to know where I can get this done in XXXXXXX and what the related cost is. Can all of the vaccinations be taken at one time? I am not sure if I have taken any of the listed vaccinations before - is this a problem if I mistakenly retake any of them?

Brief Answer:
Vaccines can be taken at one time..

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Previously there was limitation to the number of vaccines given at a time. Now you may take all the above listed vaccines together. However it should be given individually and not using one single prick. Therefore I might recommend taking it at different dates if you are not comfortable.

These vaccines are available at all hospitals (multidisciplinary hospitals). Please visit one closest to your location. I am not aware of cost of these vaccines but I guess it would cost you about Rs 5000 - 7500 INR.

Expect MMR vaccines, you will require more than one dose of vaccines for complete protection. Therefore it will be a good suggestion to try and recollect vaccines taken earlier. That being said, taking it again will not harm you.

Hope I have answered all your questions.

Regards
