My son failed to get chickenpox when he was young, and the pox can be nasty when you're older. I figured better get him the shots.
She walked me through this very carefully.
She said if he never got the pox, he would never have to worry about shingles.
Since the shots contained weakened but live virus, he would now have to worry about shingles.
I asked about the shingles vaccine. She said it's the same shot, but a higher dose.
I said that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
She said, "I know, right?"
Interesting. Who knows for sure about anything medical these days?
