The good news is, you can get free vaccines through your local health center. Here's how you do it.
- While still pregnant, go to your respective Barangay Health Center.
- Avail of their free pre-natal checkups at least twice. If you have a private OB, bring your Mother's Book.
- The soonest possible time after giving birth, have your baby checked at the Barangay Health Center.
- Avail of the free vaccinations for babies below 1 year old. If you have a private pediatrician, bring your Baby's Book.

Tips on how to get free vaccinations:
- Know the schedule of your health center first. In Bacayan, Cebu City, in particular, their pre-natal checkups are every Tuesday and the vaccinations are every Wednesday
- Always bring your Family Card with you during visits to the Health Center. This is the white card they provide to you, where your baby's vaccination record is documented.
- Bring a few pesos with you for the donation. This is optional, but it's always nice to give something back :-)
