Hello everyone, I’m a little girl, no, rather I’m a young mother, I got married at the age of 22˳ I want to tell the story of selling a dowry gold ring given to me by my mother to take my child to get all the vaccinations˳
It is difficult for my children to get injections, but I really want to give them all the injections – Illustration: DUTY PHAN
During that time, I had just graduated from school, and my husband was serving in the military˳ I stayed at home because my husband’s parents said that pregnant women couldn’t work anymore, and my husband’s salary and allowance were only enough for one person to eat˳ But we also have to take care of the future, baby diapers˳
Later, when I gave birth to a child, it was also when my husband left the army, and the money that came out of the army took care of his wife to give birth˳ Then my husband applied for jobs everywhere but he was not accepted, until later he applied to work in a private clinic, the basic salary for newcomers is only 4 million VND/month˳
With a family with a small child, there are so many things to worry about, especially about getting vaccinated, my family has a hard time, but I really want to give my child all the shots˳ I try to spend the first few months to give my child the most basic injections, later on, the older I get, the more I have to try because I still have some booster shots˳
To try to get their children vaccinated enough, when it came to the vaccination schedule, the couple had to think a month in advance how to get money for their children’s vaccinations˳
But it’s not enough˳ I had to sell the gold ring given to me by my mother’s dowry to get money to take my child for vaccinations˳ Because I know, no matter how difficult it is, I must try to give my child enough shots because it will protect him for life˳
I told my husband: We can fast, but with our children we cannot ignore the important stages of our children, even though grandparents and people around sometimes disagree with our decisions˳ myself and my husband˳
They think there are some parts that are not like young people, they say that “it won’t grow up with such injections, the baby will be stunted”˳ But I always listen to the doctor, I know that full vaccination will be a preparation for my child’s health in the future˳
Strangely, from the time my child was born until now, he has been 2 years old but he has not been sick at all˳ Because I am sure that the injections that my child is given have been protecting him˳
