Well it comes in 03 doses but in combination with 02 ones more, i paid for all almost USD550,00 because the vaccinations are imported from UK. Better you check it out with your Pediatrician

They have but the local one only, if you want the imported one you must always order from UK, they normally doesn't have a stock of the imported ones.

the foreign owned and operated medical facilities can provide this series of vaccine, and since they are imported they are a much higher price than the locally produced ones. go for the imported products, as there's no guarantee of the quality, reliability and efficacy of the locally produced medicines.

American Sino now has a vaccination program for Pediatrics... in their outpatient clinic: 6210-2299. Dr. Kuo runs the clinic. I had a baby with him 2 weeks ago and he seems to be one of the best OBGYN in Shanghai. I can certainly vouch for his experience as I had a really wonderful birthing experience at American Sino.
