I held off on Jacks and will give it to him around 10 years, childhood chicken pox usually isn't to bad...the vaccine only lasts 10 years so they will need a booster in their teens
not to freak you out or sway you either way..chicken pox is the only one I have a problem with ok
but in its either Japan or china I think its japan google it you will find the article...have been vacinating for 25 + years and they are finding above average hugely so incidents of shingle in people in late teens early 20's who were all vaccinated and haven't had chciken pox
now you normally only get shingle if you have had chicken pox and then normally after you 50's
the chickenpox vaccine is the one vaccine dd will not be getting....
i agree, chickenpox in the young is not a big deal, i mean we all had it right?? if dd doesn't contract it by the time she is going to highschool then i plan to get her vaccinated then.... as from my understanding chickenpox gets worse the older you are.
the vaccine is relatively new and has not been extensively researched, i read in another thread on this site there is risk of causing brain inflammation, amongst other things...
for me i just don't see the point in vaccinating against something that i've had myself and isn't really a big risk to health if she got it....
horses for courses, everyone should do their own research and work out whats best for them.
