Hi all,

I've to send 2 vaccines (Pneumococcal and
Meningococcal) to India this month. This is for my
cousin's 8 year old daughter, who was unfortunately
involved in an accident (struck by a public transport
bus) in Pune, India. She suffered head injuries and
had to be operated in ER. As she's recovering slowly,
but steadily now, the neurosurgeon has suggested that
she be given the above 2 vaccines, before the end of
next month.

Problem is, these vaccines are not available in India.
I did some research here and found out that these are
readily available in US, in hospitals only and one of
that is recommended by CDC for all kids before 2 yrs.
Now that I know about availability of these vaccines,
what are the next steps should I take to procure
these, so that they can be sent to India? (I'm hoping,
there exists some channel to get these.) My folks have
forwarded me the doctor's prescription. Any pointers
in this matter will be really helpful.

Abhijit: You can send the medicines through courier service or through a known passenger along with the bill (cost of medicines) as it might be checked in customs, especially if medicines are very expensive. Also include doctor's prescription.

I hope this helps....

Thanks Yogi. All the responses I've got till now say about "how to send the medicines". But, about how to procure these, I still don't have a clue. I'm trying though...

Abhijit, if you know any doctor, please contact him and let him see the prescription and ask his help to get the vaccine. If you do not know any doctor, contact a hospital and ask if they can help you. If you can get in touch with any Indian doctor, he will be able to guide you. I hope this helps and you get the vaccine to send in time.

Hello Abhijit,
If you can find any Indian/marathi doctor in your area, then they should be able to help you procure the vaccines.
