Chicken Pox Shot

My daughter got her chicken pox shot a few weeks before her 1st birthday. When it came time for her school physical to register her into kindergarten she had to have another chicken pox shot. The reason was because she had her initial shot before her first birthday and it needed to be after she was one to count for school immunization records.

Bummer to have to get one twice but I think you may bet better off that way. I have been reading that they recommend a booster shot of Varicella these days to help boost childrens immunity. Plus if they do get the chicken pox it is usually a much milder case.

My neighbors daughter got the chicken pox...and the sad thing is, she had the vaccine! I've been trying to keep my daughter away from her sister because I don't want HER to get it. The mother asked the doctor what to do, and he told her she should get a Booster shot.
