GGMin, I brought vaccin (need to be kept in ice bag or fridge)from my doctor in HK once when my BB was 1 yr old. They couldn't get the vaccin shots because they just had flu shots before and had to wait for several days but my husband need to return to China.
I think it's more convenient to get injections from reputable BJ clinic instead. They charge at a premium but are professional.
I am living in Shuangjin and working mum. Came to BJ already 18 months. My son is 10 years old and studying in Canadian International School of BJ (year 5).
You might well as call International SOS for second opinion. If they do not offer that as well, I would enquire them what is the reasons behind. Also, I would enquire the necessity of having these additional vaccinations, whether they are must-have or just nice-to-have. Besides, it is worthwhile to ask about the validity of these vaccine after receiving them. Good luck!
It is so nice to know there are many Hong Kong mums are living in Beijing now.
I am from Hong Kong with Canadian citizenship and I have a 6 yrs old boy and going to have a baby girl in next Feb 2013, My husband is a Beijing man and after I delivery my girl in Feb 2013, I am planning to bring my boy and girl in the next July.
I wonder can any Hong Kong mums share they experiences in area of Primary schools in Beijing, such as bilingual school, international school or any other primary school is good for Hong Kong kids (my boy speak English for most of the time, he is attending English school in HK). The school location, fees, and other.
Will it be possible to bring my Filipino helper to Beijing or are there any good stay overnight helper in Beijing, how much will be the salary per month.
Also, are there any gathering event which I can join once I arrive in Beijing?
