[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 135290, member: 3419"] We put off giving the vaccine to our difficult child because we've had several friends who came down with-the chicken pox after they were vaccinated. It only lasts about 3 yrs and you continually need booster shots. Of course, the older you are, the worse the pox are, so you want to get the real thing as a kid. Then you're pretty much immune for life, with-the exception of shingles. difficult child will get the shot this summer b4 he goes to camp. (He's 11-1/2 and chicken pox is not fun for teens.) I kept hoping to expose him when he was younger, but it's so rare nowdays, it's just too difficult. [/QUOTE]
