Regarding the chicken pox vaccination

[Guest guest]

My older NT son was in the local elemantary school's

preschool program this past year. There was an

outbreak of chicken pox this spring. My son, Andy,

who was not vaccinated against it, got it pretty bad.

Two weeks later, our GFCFson, , got it as

well. Andy got it from the kids who were vaccinated.

Almost all of the kids who were exposed got it,

regardless of wether they were vaccinated or not. The

vaccinated children had milder cases, but they still

were contagious and had to be kept at home the same as

my child.

I am so glad that my kids weren't vaccinated! Now it

is over with, and I don't have to ever worry about it

again because they were pretty covered. The reason

that we didn't vaccinate is that when Andy was little,

our pediatrician did not recommend it because he had

heard that the researchers weren't sure if the

immunity would last a person's entire life, or if it

would wear off in middle or old age and leave serious

complications due to an outbreak. Imagine sixty years

from now what it would be like if these vaccinations

started wearing off. There might be a serious

epidemic among the elderly because their chicken pox

vaccination wore off! I can see where I might want to

get my child immunized if they were 16 years or so old

and hadn't had them yet, but in this day and age, most

chicken pox complications can be held at bay as long

as the parent is smart enough to know when they need

to be seen and how to care for them. My soapbox.
