    A 5 year old does not get benefit from the immunization as not something they catch. I enquired about by 3 year and that was what I was told so only got it done for my 22 month old.

    They were more then willing to do my almost three year old.

    Also, It is recommended that a second dose of the chickenpox vaccine is given, though you have to pay for this one.

    My 35 mth old just scrapped in last Friday, no side effects except a small lump at the site.
    I didn't know about the new one but was asking because very early Prems get an extra pneumococcal vax...which was lucky as we just scrapped in
