Yeah the normal vaccination program for a child for the last 50 yrsChickenpox (Varicella) Vaccine Information Statement | CDC
Chickenpox Vaccine Information Statementwww.cdc.gov
Apparently 2 doses are needed to be 90% effective. There is no info on the time frame between doses, some vaccinations can be 2 weeks, others 4 weeks or more between doses for best efficacy.
I really should get vaccinated, I've never had chickenpox either.
Shingles and adult CP are horrific. My bro had it. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Well, not many.My uncle had shingles a couple months back.... had no idea there was a vaccine.
Definitely recommend especially if you've never had.
Get vaccine.... get car... put bike on car... drive to middle of nowhere TAS with trails.... ride bike for month..... after 14 days tell wife where you are.
I wish you all the luck in the world. Gotta say though that given you have been exposed for over a week now, and have never had the pox before, unless you live in house with positive pressure rooms and you have been PPE'ing up the wazoo, and/or you have a highly evolved immune system Khan style out of Star Trek Into Darkness then I reckon it's in the post...So despite vaccinations Chickenpox is doIng the rounds in Tassie.
We had one kid with it last week and the other 2 have it now.
I've never had it and feel doomed to a severe case of shingles. Anyone have any tips to remain virus free?
Otherwise just wish me luck.
So true. If I dont get it im handing myself over to medical science.I wish you all the luck in the world. Gotta say though that given you have been exposed for over a week now, and have never had the pox before, unless you live in house with positive pressure rooms and you have been PPE'ing up the wazoo, and/or you have a highly evolved immune system Khan style out of Star Trek Into Darkness then I reckon it's in the post...
Damn, I got it when I was thirty. That was a surprise and I had the vaccination when I was a kid too. You can catch all sorts of manky things from little kids.Shingles and adult CP are horrific. My bro had it. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Well, not many.
Google how much of a good idea that was in hindsight.....We used to have Chickenpox parties, one kids gets it, parents take their kids to visit... everyone's had it at a young age, the old way of herd immunity.
Such a mainstay of '70s/'80s childhoods; pretty sure I attended one.Google how much of a good idea that was in hindsight.....
You're just helping prove my point...Such a mainstay of '70s/'80s childhoods; pretty sure I attended one.
Got HFM from some manky child a while back. Luckily wasn't too bad for me but my hand looked like I was turning into Deadpool..You can catch all sorts of manky things from little kids.
