[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 201959, member: 3419"] Shari, I think in this case, from what you've explained, the allergies are an almost sure thing, and the chances of getting chicken pox are a what-if. If you can prove that the risks outweight the benefits (doctors call it a risk-benefit ratio) the dr may even agree with-you and write you a "pass." I waited until my son was 11-1/2 until he got the shot, hoping he would catch the real thing from someone else, but it is so rare now, and you only hear about the other kids after the contagious period has passed, that it's very difficult to catch. The vaccine only lasts about 3 yrs. It's actually one of the crummiest vaccines out there. Very disappointing in terms of delivery and effects, but a money maker for the pharmaceutical company. (Along with-the flu vaccine ... something like 70 kids across the US died from the flu last yr but when the studies were analyzed, most of them died from staph infections from the hospitals!) We had to get the shot this fall for sports and school. And because the older you get, the worse the chicken pox is/are. Our kids will have to be re-vaccinated every few yrs for the rest of their lives. A very bad plan. I'd put it off for as long as possible. in my humble opinion. [/QUOTE]
