I hate to break it to you but the vaccine won’t stop them getting chicken pox. Won’t be so bad but they can still get it.WestwayKid wrote: ↑19 Nov 2018, 9:54amI was just explaining to my kids the other day that they'll never have chicken pox.

Re: SCIENCE!
I did not know that. I just assumed it meant they couldn't contract chicken pox. I could add this to the things I learned today thread!101Walterton wrote: ↑19 Nov 2018, 2:05pmI hate to break it to you but the vaccine won’t stop them getting chicken pox.

Re: SCIENCE!
Its my understanding that it is less likely but not a guarantee but if you do get it the case is normally less severe.WestwayKid wrote: ↑19 Nov 2018, 2:47pmI did not know that.

One of my kids had chicken pox twice but neither had vaccine I don’t remember it being available. It is better to get it as a kid anyway it’s no big deal but a friend of mine had it as an adult recently. He was in a bad way for several weeks.

That was my handle because I got CP when I was 15. It totally ruled.
Not.
