I absoloutly agree #21! And to the person who blamed recent outbreaks of CP on the unvaccinated, you are misinformed- there hasn’t been a “wild” case of chicken pox in the U.S. in several years. The children who are getting CP now are actually getting it from the vaccine, and then passing it onto others.

The chicken pox vaccine does not provide lifelong immunity. It is not mandatory in my state and my daughter is not getting it. The US is out of control with vaccinations. At the very least they vaccinate TOO young and TOO often. And too many things are lumped into one shot. MMR for example.

I don’t know about things in Europe, but in the US chicken pox was almost eradicated and the strain that survived was much more dangerous than the ones we had as children decades ago. In the US, a chicken pox vaccination is required before kids start school. Since we are so global, I’m assuming other countries will follow suit. I don’t know when it was listed as a mandatory vaccination but my son who was born in 2000 had to get it. While I don’t always agree with the schedule of how frequent vaccinations must be administered, I do believe in them.

Chicken pox is one of those things where if you get it once you are forever immune. So they say… though squeeky has had it 4 times so maybe it’s different per individual.
#8… I do understand & agree with what you are saying, partly. Kids do need to be exposed to everyday germs & dirt to build up immunities, but the varicella vaccine is a good thing and something they should have. Chicken pox can be horrible to suffer through and not many kids get a mild case. Getting the vaccine simply gives kids antibodies against the virus, kids who get chicken pox and are sick for 2 weeks also build antibodies against the virus. I know which one I chose for my kids.

In the UK the vaccine for chickenpox is not coming until Autumn 2008.

had you thought that bluebell might not have a very bad version of chicken pox, my kids had it about 3 years ago and they didn’t have it bad, although I have had it 4 times, and each one was very very mild.
