🩺 My Journey to Finding Affordable Vaccinations
When my OB-Gyn first told me I needed to get vaccinated during pregnancy, my initial thought was, “Oh no, another hospital expense!” 😅
I knew how important vaccinations were — both for me and my baby — but the prices at hospitals were too much for my budget.
That’s when I started doing my own research. I checked online, asked around, and visited a few clinics. After several calls and price comparisons, I found a much more affordable option through Hi-Precision Diagnostics (HPD).
💡 How It Works: Getting Vaccinations from Hi-Precision Diagnostics
Here’s how I did it step-by-step — super easy and practical for expecting moms like me:
- Contact HPD first. Call or email them and send a photo of your doctor’s vaccination request. They’ll confirm which vaccines you need.
- Place your order online. Go to their online store and order the vaccine you need.
- Wait for delivery to your chosen branch. Once your order arrives at the HPD branch, contact them to book your vaccination appointment.
- Doctor-administered and included! A doctor will give you the vaccine for free as part of your payment.
- Plan your doses. For vaccines with intervals, make sure to order your next one at least a week before your scheduled date.
I wasn’t able to finish all my doses since I gave birth earlier than expected — good thing I didn’t pre-order everything, or it would’ve gone to waste!
💰 Sample Vaccine Prices (Hi-Precision Diagnostics 2025)
Here are a few sample prices from HPD’s current listings:
- Flu Vaccine (Quadrivalent): ₱1,450
- Tetanus Toxoid Vaccine: ₱418.80
- Hepatitis B Vaccine: ₱2,000
- Pneumococcal Vaccine (PCV13): ₱5,550
- HPV Vaccine (4 Strains): ₱4,590
These are much cheaper than the rates I was quoted at the hospital! You can even order online and choose the branch nearest you — super convenient.
🏥 About Hi-Precision Diagnostics
Hi-Precision Diagnostics is one of the biggest medical laboratories in the Philippines. They have several branches offering vaccines and health services for both adults and children. I liked how systematic they were and how easy it was to book everything online.

👶 Free Vaccinations for Your Baby at the Barangay
After giving birth, I found out that babies need several vaccinations too. My baby’s pediatrician offered them, but the total cost surprised me! Then I learned something very helpful: barangays provide free baby vaccinations! 🎉
So I went to Barangay Ususan Health Center in Taguig, and here’s how it worked for us:
- Ask for the vaccination schedule. Barangays usually have fixed immunization days.
- Go early on the scheduled date. It gets busy fast, so being early helps.
- Bring your baby’s record/book. They’ll write down the vaccines given.
- Get free vitamins and paracetamol! Yes, they provide those too.
- Ask your pedia which vaccines aren’t free. Some may still need to be done privately (e.g., special or imported brands).
I didn’t realize how much money we could save just by knowing this! So if you’re a new mom, check your local barangay — you might be surprised at how helpful their services are.
📍 Barangay Ususan, Taguig also offers family planning services and even free contraceptive pills.
🌸 Updates and Additional Tips
- Always check HPD’s site for updated prices and available vaccines.
- Call ahead before visiting — some vaccines require advance ordering.
- Keep your baby’s vaccination book updated to avoid confusion later.
- If you’re in Taguig, you can also follow Barangay Ususan’s Facebook page for announcements.
💖 Becoming a mom has taught me that love and protection start even before you hold your baby in your arms. Taking care of yourself during pregnancy — from getting the right nutrition to completing your vaccinations — is one of the greatest acts of love you can give your child.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions, look for options, and make wise choices. You don’t need to spend a fortune to be a good mom — you just need patience, awareness, and a heart full of love. 💕
Every little step you take now, no matter how small, is part of your beautiful journey of motherhood.
