Do you think it's okay to have your children vaccinated at health center? Is it convenient? Are the shots there the same quality as those available in private clinics?

For me, yes because quality-wise, vaccines in health centers are relatively the same as the ones given by private pedias as these are distributed by the government. Although sometimes, the type varies. Say for example, in a private pedia, a Penta + Hib vaccine may be the acellular type meanwhile, in health centers it could be the whole-cell type, or vice versa. This is also why some babies develop fever as a reaction. Acellular vaccines (usually higher priced than whole-cell) does not initiate fever as an effect while the other does. Another factor would be convenience. Sometimes, there are vaccines that aren't available in health centers, like PCV.
