I think it cost 5$ or $2.50 to register and $2.50 for each vaccination shot... After 19 months I think we are on the 10th shot or so..We get them to stamp the maternity clinic book and the yellow book they provide...

Anyone have any actual experience on this for their kids?
We've tried different private clinics, most would push you away if they can't provide the same brand vaccine (which I guess make's sense)

Royal Hospital does a decent job, a shot can range from 60usd to 300 usd (because some months the vaccine book requires like 2 different shots)
Khema although expensive and popular did not give us any good experience -- i would recommend to stay away (it's almost a scam to go there)
Deluxe Ratana clinic - at toul kork is with a pair of doctors from Royal -- vaccines there are not as expensive but basically the same thing

How can a clinic 'not give you a good experience' with a vaccination? A quick scan, a shot, and on your way, eventually with an appointment for the second shot.

I have good experiences with Khema. I totally forgot about a second shot (cocci) two years after the first one but they called me to remind me.

Sounds like i hit a nerve about Khema, lol
Just imagine going to Khema getting a shot for your child for 200usd then when you asked, is my kid gonna have a fever? what medicine should I give him? Response would be "oh ... ummmh yeah, it's better to ask the pharmacy" from the supposedly DOCTOR.

-------------

Every vaccine our kids have gotten have appeared to have been from the manufacturer. - haven't see anything on boxes or vials indicating it was from a non-profit or UN agency etc. They even put one of the labels into the vaccine book that contains name/ lot#/manufacture date/expiry date etc. So I fully expect they are purchasing either from the manufacturer or through a major drug distributor.

At the children's hospital here I would assume that at least some of the vaccines are donated or purchased at great discount.

All legal medications are provided by the same licensed company in Cambodia, you will find their sticker on each and every (legal) box. They have a pretty comprehensive network.

I don't doubt that by any means, the company you may talk of, has full control of what is available to buy in the country, and also what pharmacy will get what to sell. You could say it's a little bit like regulating the flow of nessasery drugs to the people who depend on them. But in most cases it is not, example - my lady needs two daily drugs and can't break the cycle, I can get from only 3 pharmacists, Phnom Penh, Kampong Cham and Koh Kong. But, all it takes is someone to fall out of favor.
