Guest guest Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Yes this is true...my older son with autism, 8 years, has not been immunized for chicken pox because it is not required for his age. But my younger son had to be immunized for that, he'll be 7 next month. I did let him have that shot. He has never had reactions to shots, so I let the doctor give it to him. All the others I do not allow. I had forgotten about the chicken pox for younger kids. Honestly, I'm not sure how to get out of that one. The only thing maybe to me would be to expose him to pox and hope he gets them. Anyone else???

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Chicken pox vaccine is made using aborted fetal tissue. You can easily object due to personal or religious beliefs on this one. -Sara. I had forgotten about the chicken pox for younger kids. Honestly, I'm not sure how to get out of that one.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 This is one of the craziest immunizations to be mandated. Not only does it only protect about 40% of the time, but if the immunity wears off when a child is an adult, watch out, it can be deadly to get chicken pox as an adult. Not to mention how many kids develop shingles after that vaccine. I refused and signed a religous waiver on all of my kids. Unfortunately, my boys had already been fully vaccinated, including this one, but they won't get anymore in the future. My daughter caught the chicken pox, so I was relieved. a -- casti71@... wrote: I had forgotten about the chicken pox for younger kids. Honestly, I'm not sure how to get out of that one.

I just talked to a dude yesterday that had this happen to a friend at his job. He said the guy got all of his boosters on schedule, but he actually caught the chicken pox virus at 55 and died from it. He told me that the pox didn't act the same way they do with children. He said the poor guy was so covered in them that they said he died of suffocation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
