I had the chicken pox growing up, and I turned out ok.

Just wait until polio and TB start becoming a thing again too because people don't want to vaccinate properly. I view the immunization kooks like I do the guys who want to ride motorcycles without helmets. It's all on you, buddy. Except the parents who choose to do this are fucking their kids up too.

I had no idea you could be immunized for chicken pox.
I learned something new I guess.

I didn't know there even was a chickenpox vaccine, heck, there used to be chicken pox parties to get all the kids infected in an area. It's better to have it as a kid, because if you get it when much older, it can kill you.
It's not deadly for kids, but hey with a vaccine at least they won't have to deal with shingles later in life.

The problem with people not vaccinating their kids is that they put other kids at risk. Vaccines work by providing "Herd Immunity" to a given group, which is dependent on a high rate of vaccination. This helps protect kids who can't be vaccinated for bona fide reasons and protects vaccinated kids, since not all vaccinations are 100% effective, because there are fewer opportunities for the disease to spread.

Chalk me up too. I always thought Chicken Pox was more or less a 'mandatory' disease when you're young.

Who gives a shit if kids get chicken pox?
When I got chicken pox it kinda itched, and I got a week off from school.
Overall it was a pretty good deal.

At first I thought this thread was going to be about the L.A. Dodgers getting chicken pox.
If only you knew how bad things really are.

I had the chicken pox too when I was growing up without any long term concerns, though I've been told that shingles hurting like a bitch is an understatement.
It would be a little more worrisome if the kids without the chicken pox vaccine weren't vaccinated against other diseases like the measles, polio and whooping cough. It would only take one child travelling to SEA or EE and bringing it back to school to cause an outbreak.

The chicken pox vaccine was first licensed only in 1995, I understand. Probably why a lot of the guys here haven't heard of it or weren't given it.

I'm not looking forward to (the possibility of) shingles, an elderly neighbor of mine had it for a month or so, sounded very very painful. If I had the option of getting the vaccine as a child, I'm sure my parents would've done it. I'll get it for my kids, when they are old enough, and after I make some. Cart before the horse so to speak.

AB, sorry to hear about your experience.
There have been ads for a shingles vaccine all over TV in the US recently. Not sure how old you have to be, but sounds like it's worth checking out.

My great grandmother got shingles in her eye socket and they had to sew that sucker shut. Thank god for vaccines, and god bless those little kiddos whose parents are too fucking ignorant to give their children such protection.
