Services for children with vaccine price rebellion

Recently, some of the older vaccine shots after the disaster occurred, the shock of death as adding to the grief and worry for parents not less. Before that, the related hazard hepatitis B vaccine has also caused some confusion. Therefore, many parents have accepted to take money for their services instead of shots are free under the expanded immunization programme. And in fact, many types of vaccine become "expensive" but price then ... chaos point.  

Parents take children to immunizations in a medical facility in HO CHI MINH CITY.

Each where each reviews

With the expanded vaccination mentality has not really safe, instead of be free, no less traumatic parent put money out to get the vaccine for their services. Recorded shows children vaccinated, vaccine types service for is the type of vaccine "5 in 1" (to prevent diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio and meningitis capped Hib), hepatitis B, Japanese encephalitis, ... immunizations at the base services such as HO CHI MINH CITY Pasteur Institute, HO CHI MINH CITY Health Center , HO CHI MINH CITY Nutrition Center and the children's Hospital, 1 children's, 2 ... increase in the past days.

According to the doctors of science HO CHI MINH CITY Pasteur Institute, vaccinations every day there are hundreds of youngsters to inject vaccine types, sometimes "definitive" by not providing timely. A doctor said, the last days of the child to visit was immunizations requirements parents of vaccine "5 in 1" rise.

Recorded at the base of the other shots are also in the same situation. But with the average price of the vaccine "5 in 1" and the vaccine "6 in 1" up to 600,000-700,000 VND/dose caused no less parents "distorted" instead of injected vaccine Quinvaxem free.

Significant issues and difficult to understand is the same type of vaccine, the same amount but every where every price, the difference from a few thousand to tens of thousands of both copper copper. Ms. Hoang Thi Phuong (Phu Nhuan, Saigon) taken daughters 2 years to HO CHI MINH CITY Pasteur Institute vaccine shots "5 in 1" questions: "I've just played bronze 650,000 to inject vaccine PENTAXIM name but today before there grandchildren neighborhood home to HO CHI MINH CITY Nutrition Center only cost 622,000. How can a piece that was more expensive than 28000 Council ".

According to our understanding, not only of vaccine PENTAXIM which many other vaccine types also have a price difference of a ridiculous way at the basis of immunization services. The Pasteur Institute in HO CHI MINH CITY, for example, vaccine vaccine hepatitis B called EUVAX B-children below the age of 15 is 80000 VND per dose, while in health center HCMC is 85000/dose.

But in the hospital Pediatric 2 SAIGON only cost 52000/dose (cheaper to 33000/dose compared with at preventive health center HCMC). EUVAX B-for the vaccine left over 15 years at the Pasteur Institute in HO CHI MINH CITY's 120,000 VND per dose but in preventive health center HCMC is 130,000/dose.

Similarly, vaccine ENGERIX-B for people under 19 years in HO CHI MINH CITY Pasteur Institute is 90000/dose but health center HCMC, Sting had 100,000 VND/price services, and Nutrition Center dose SAIGON "soft" cost more than 81000/dose; ENGERIX-B vaccine for people over the age of 19 in HO CHI MINH CITY Pasteur Institute's 130,000/dose, while preventive health center HCMC price listing is 150,000 VND/dose and Nutrition Center of HO CHI MINH CITY has only 123,000 price/dose.

Through the survey, showed the vaccine to prevent Japanese encephalitis B trade name JEVAX 0, 5 ml was the center of preventive medicine TP shots for children under 3 years old cost 60000/dose, in HO CHI MINH CITY Pasteur Institute is 40000/doses and at the children's hospital 2 SAIGON only cost 35000/dose. Also JEVAX 1 ml for children above 3 years old in the Centre of preventive medicine TP is 100,000 VND/dosage, at the HO CHI MINH CITY have 80000 VND/price Pateur dose but children's hospital 2 only cost 65000/dose.

That is the same type of vaccine, the same amount of concentration but shots service at 3 basis has 3 different prices. Count out each of JEVAX doses of preventive health center HCMC, price difference is higher than to 25000/dose compared to the price of the 2 children's Hospital! Not just vaccine for children that many types of vaccine for adults also have the difference of up to tens of thousands of bronze/dose, e.g. vaccine GARDASIL cervical cancer vaccine shots in HO CHI MINH CITY Pasteur Institute has the price 1,300,000 bronze/dose, but preventive medicine center in HO CHI MINH CITY up to 1,350,000/dose.

Floating, inhabitants suffer "pockets"

According to our understanding, the vaccine injections is self service business in the basis of vaccination. Accordingly, the vaccination centre of vaccine purchased and held shots, self service defines the level of currency and money "interest". So that each salary type each idea. According to the reflection of many parents is not only in the large vaccination rate base currency difference that right in the center of preventive medicine, districts, wards and clinics even commune also set out the level of currency.

Recently, Ms. h., implied a parent Binh Thanh district-HO CHI MINH CITY reflects to the function body is when the 1 years to Japanese encephalitis vaccine in healthcare with 120,000 VND/nose, but when in contact with a number of places have this kind of vaccination services such as HO CHI MINH CITY Nutrition Center HO CHI MINH CITY Pasteur Institute, then the new price is lower than the level of healthcare. "We are mostly working poor people due to how busy work that sometimes misses the expandable vaccinations for children should get room service compensation. But the pay is too high, "Mrs. h. underprivileged lament.

Medical experts said that the condition of service of vaccine shots every where every price has existed since long ago in HO CHI MINH CITY. However, to date, have not been managed, correct. "Haven't seen the Agency would manage the price of vaccine shots service. Therefore, each medical facility built for themselves on the basis of input prices and the accompanying costs ", a leading health centre in HO CHI MINH CITY said.

According to the regulations of the Ministry of health, the medical facility if the response is conditional on the preservation, use of the vaccine is injected to the service for the people. Therefore, in recent years, the number of health facilities (health centers, private hospitals) open registration services more and more vaccine shots, each where each of the reviews. While regulators almost ... float!=
