[QUOTE="Shari, post: 133389, member: 1848"] Wee difficult child's doctor is grilling me on why we haven't given wee difficult child the chicken pox vaccine. I need her to sign a release for school for him not to have it, and she's balking. I have heard that its not that effective (maybe 50% longterm), and I'd prefer, if he's going to get chicken pox, to get it younger, rather than older, when it becomes a more serious illness. Maybe I'm being old fashioned... What has anyone else heard on the effectiveness of it? (Just FYI - other reasons I opted not to give it to him - I was severely allergic to several of my immunizations, and I have opted to only give wee difficult child the bare bones on immunizations - he seems to have allergies, also) [/QUOTE]
