Question for those who Vax'd up to 12 months

[Curly]

I got DS vaxed for varicella and will do so for DD and any subsequent children when they get to 18 months. DS suffered no adverse reaction at all. I was only just pregnant with DD when DS was 18 months so I didn't get him vaxed until after my first trimester on the advice of the MCHN but that only was a couple of months late.

I didn't get chicken pox till I was 15 years old and I remember the discomfort vividly. My mum was the only one who'd had chicken pox as a child but she had to nurse me, my brother (11 years old) and my sister (13 years old) and then my Dad through it. Poor Dad was in his 40s and it was really quite severe, he had blisters inside his mouth. I was the only one who escaped without some facial scarring from the blisters.

I am hoping I will save my kids from a similar experience.

Yeah I did....only cause DH has never had them and if he ever brought them home from day care or anything like that I would hate for DH to get them!! He is bad enough to look after when he has the flu, could you imagine him with CP!! Lol.

Yes we did but not on time. Ds was sick on and off for a few months so he eventually had it a month or so ago.

If you want to get L done and could possibly handle two cranky kids for a day then Id do them together.
