When did the chickenpox vaccine come out?

Healthcare providers started giving the chickenpox vaccine in 1995. Chickenpox used to be a very common childhood disease. Before the chickenpox vaccine became available, about 4 million people got chickenpox each year. Between 10,500 and 13,000 people were hospitalized, and 100 to 150 people died each year from chickenpox.

1995 - 17 years ago. Hmm. And all of sudden people in their 20’s are getting shingles? Now? Not five years ago?

Did your average 25 year old get the chicken pox vaccine in 1995 when they were 8? Or had they already had chicken pox by then?

We did not have that when I was growing up, I am glad of it.

I got chicken pox, mumps, and the measles when a was a kid and my folks told me that’s GOOD

Because you DONT want to contract those as an adult

By this new “logic” for a vaccine for those childhood illness, the flaw is if the vax doesn’t last lifelong you have NO NATURAL IMMUNITY to protect you as an Adult.

Something us most of us Ol Folks do not have to worry about
