Chicken Pox Immunization?!
Question:
Chicken Pox Immunization?
For some immunizations, you have to get the shot every few years in order to keep immunized. My question is, is the chicken pox immunization like that? or is it supposed to prevent you from ever having chicken pox just from the one shot? I think the shot I'm talking about came out in the mid-ninties. Why I ask is because I'm 16, I think I was about five when I had the shot, and my friends all act like it's some big deal that I've never had the virus.
Answers:
The Chicken Pox virus itself is probably less dangerous than the shot longterm. The drug companies will do anything for money.
I think that immunity will (hopefully) last for ten years. People would be better off just dealing with the virus itself while they were young and healthy rather than having a bunch of elderly people come down with it after the immunity wears off from the shot.
