I just found out that a friend in her classroom has chicken pox. Now I am finding out about the boosters needed "maybe" and no specific time table is known that I can find.<br /><br />But with this information I have found so far, I am thinking if I was in your situation, I would get the booster. Before you find out that he has come into contact with someone who has it. <br />From what I understand, it is worse if they get it now, when they are older and previously vaccinated. <br />What a tough decision! And who knows, the next article I come across might say to NOT get the booster. The information is so whacky and inconsistent!Brendac16https://www.blogger.com/profile/14407321905269519556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27050770.post-83125151776805649522016-01-08T05:45:41.312-08:002016-01-08T05:45:41.312-08:00So the booster she received this last time, was it...So the booster she received this last time, was it her second dose? Or did she have 2 doses and this current one was the third?<br /><br />I am trying to sift through all of this confusing information! I just found out someone in my daughters class was diagnosed with chicken pox. I thought, wow that's weird, I thought they were all vaccinated. Now I am finding out all of this information that I never knew about booster shots and vaccines wearing out! So I go to find my daughters immunization record, only to see that there are THREE date spaces for chicken pox, we we have only done 2 doses 😐<br />I mean, there is nothing I can do about it now except wait and see what happens. But selfish me, I started worrying that she is going to get it right before we go on vacation! 😆<br />I also have an older son, that had to suffer with chicken pox at maybe 4 years old. So I was thinking this chicken pox vaccine was the best thing ever! <br />Oh well......😳Brendac16https://www.blogger.com/profile/14407321905269519556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27050770.post-7650123458685539122016-01-08T05:30:07.698-08:002016-01-08T05:30:07.698-08:00Just curious, for your oldest daughter, do you kn...Just curious, for your oldest daughter, do you know if she had one dose or two doses of the chicken pox vaccine? I am trying to figure out what the chances are of my daughter (who is 13 now) getting the chicken pox after coming in contact with a classmate that has now been diagnosed with it.<br /><br />I have been looking up info on all of this and it is so confusing to me! Sometimes it says one dose but in another case it needs to be two doses. Then I found the shot record, only to see there are THREE date spaces for it! <br /><br />I mean, it is what it is, there is nothing I can do now but wait and see what happens. But I thought it was interesting (not in a good way!) that your daughter still caught it at 7 years old. <br /><br />I also have an older one, born in '92, and he just had to get immunized the old fashioned way, by suffering through it! Now I am finding out that he just might be better off! ��<br /><br />Brendac16https://www.blogger.com/profile/14407321905269519556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27050770.post-34445500543253839202012-08-22T01:02:35.806-07:002012-08-22T01:02:35.806-07:00I had my twin girls immunized - but my one little ...I had my twin girls immunized - but my one little girl (now 7 yrs old) has just Got the chicken pocks.

The public health department labeled it an epidemic when I was reporting at least 5 cases weekly and continued to report until approximately 33% of our students had experienced active chickenpox. The time frame was October 2007- May 2008. Right after that, the CDC and Health Depts. recommended a booster before the start of the 2008-2009 school year.

I read the risks, I have been fully educated on these. I felt that giving my children immunizations against very deadly diseases far outweighed the "slim" risks. However, I have always had a slight objection to the Chicken Pox vaccine since I first heard about it. Then, I had been told that my son was done with shots until he was a teen. So when he was due for his 8 year check up I told him, no shots. I was irritated to find out he needed a booster. He was mad that I "lied". :( I really dislike the fact that there were not longer studies on the vaccine to determine the effect they were to have on children now, and then later in life when all those who choose NOT to immunize their children make mine sick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27050770.post-43470465761177048292008-05-13T12:41:00.000-07:002008-05-13T12:41:00.000-07:00My daughter had her chicken pox vaccine at 15 mont...My daughter had her chicken pox vaccine at 15 months. Within 3 weeks she had reverted back to crawling and could not stand up or walk on her own. Both things she was able to do at 11 months. She was diagnosed with Acute Cerebellar Ataxia - a direct result of her chicken pox vaccine. This is when your immune system attacks your nervous system and destroys the myelin sheath.<BR/><BR/>It has been since January 7th (today is May 13th) and my daughter who will be two in July can not walk. It is extremely scary as a first time parent to see your child go through this. All because of a vaccine that was supposed to help her! We are told that she will recover but most children recover within a few weeks to a month. Since this has happened my husband and I have consumed ourselves with research on vaccines and the adverse reactions that are reported. We would love to talk with someone that has heard of this condition or someone with a similar experience. Vaccines are not the way to go. Our daughter will not get another vaccine.

She is in the 3rd grade and in a class of 18 children. 9 boys and 9 girls. In the past month (all of the girls) except mine, came down with the pox. She had her nine year check up in the midst of this all and her Dr. gave her a booster. That was a week ago. Today she came home from our friends house with a fever of 102f and a mild rash on her belly. (not anything like the pox I saw on my two older daughters before the vaccine was given.) They had it full throttle! (including inside the eyelids! If my 9 year old is diagnosed with the chicken pox, then I think it needs to be boostered every 6 years not 8. What can I do but sit and wait at home with her - they wont let her in school for at least 10 days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27050770.post-75523570807305318792007-12-02T05:34:00.000-08:002007-12-02T05:34:00.000-08:00this is all new to me. please provide me with a go...this is all new to me. please provide me with a good objective site about immunizing children.gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06934294648667859929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27050770.post-82403971570666154352007-10-11T21:56:00.000-07:002007-10-11T21:56:00.000-07:00Our eldest is now 9 years old, and we did not know...Our eldest is now 9 years old, and we did not know back in 1998 about the dangers of vaccinations. We allowed her to get all of her vaccinations, including chicken pox. Two years ago she got the worst case of chicken pox we have ever seen. You could not even see her skin. She ran a high fever and was very ill for several weeks. I am angry that the "vaccine" did not "protect", as we were told it would. We also now have a 7 month old (who was 2 months premature). I am very, very heavily leaning toward not vaccinating him at all, and I refused all vaccinations while he was in the hospital and in his well baby exams. I am just floored that the dr's would even suggest giving a preemie vaccinations! That's absurd! I am becoming more educated about vaccines every day, and I've always had a catch in my gut about vaccinating my children from here on out. I think I am making the right choice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27050770.post-58267406029196369822007-05-09T21:35:00.000-07:002007-05-09T21:35:00.000-07:00my son had a seizure just after his chicken pox va...my son had a seizure just after his chicken pox vaccine. my second son never had that shot, but had others and our third child has never and will never have any shots.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27050770.post-72620155380082597112007-04-04T10:34:00.000-07:002007-04-04T10:34:00.000-07:00My husband and I after doing a lot of research on ...My husband and I after doing a lot of research on immunizing and the all risks, being fully imformed on both sides (doing them/not doing them) chose not to immunize our third child. Our first born in 1982 was fully immunized. (not being aware of the dangers of immunizing) our 2nd born in 1995 was immunized, all but the chicken pox vacine. Something inside said "don't do it!". It was the first year they were giving it.<BR/>The real eye opener for us was in 1996 witnessing a death of a child (one of twins) both recieved the DPT, one of the children died within 1-2 days after receiving the shot.<BR/>I know we have made the right decision not immunizing, but now my concern is, and what we didn't even anticipate was that with all the children now bing immunized is that our children would not get the usual exposure to CP. Our children now 8 and 12, have not had the CP yet. I fear they are at risk to have it at a much later age. Later than in their teens, espcially since the push for the immunization and the need of the booster will continue. What can we do?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
