Chicken pox is going through our school right now. A boy that both my sons

play with at recess daily had it last week. none of my kids has caught it. I

wonder if the valtrex is helping in that. About a month ago, I had a few

strange blisters appear on my stomach. Chicken pox never entered my mind. But,

after seeing a student's outbreak last week, I am beginning to wonder. They

looked the same. I know of 6 instances (in the last month) in our school where

the kids had the vaccine and still got chicken pox. The cases are extremely

mild, with very few blisters. Did the vaccine help with the severity? Or is

this a strain that the vaccine doesn't protect against?

I'm thinking that the vaccine runs out in the teenage years? Best I

remember, that's why I refused it for my boys.

Another thing- chicken pox is usually not very serious in children. It is more

dangerous for adults to contract it. Being vaccinated is not a guarantee that

you will not contract chicken pox.
