I agree 100%. I'm immediately skeptical of the attitude "all vaccines are bad" as well as the "vaccines are perfectly safe." It's a risk analysis that should be made by parents and their doctors.
And I'm sorry to hear about your hearing loss. I thought that the risk of shingles decreased (if not was practically eliminated) if you had the chickenpox as a youngster...is that not the case?
No, if you've ever had chicken pox, you're at risk of shingles. You can't get shingles if you never had chicken pox. One childhood vaccination thus prevents both chicken pox and shingles.
Thank you, my hearing is better (I got back 90% of comprehension in the infected ear, but lost the high frequencies).
As to your question, no. The chickenpox virus hides in your nerves then erupts as shingles. So it doesn’t make any difference it could still getcha.
I’m not sure on the vaccine yet, but may depending on the additional “stuff” in it.
