I often wonder about the chicken pox ( varicella) vaccine. How long does immunity last ? Are we going to have an outbreak of chicken pox when the children of today are in their 60-70s, when chicken pox can be lethal in that age group? I don’t have children, but if I did, I would use the vaccine schedule I had when I was a child with the addition of the RSV vaccine. If my child did not get chicken pox naturally ( which is now harder to do), I would then vaccinate when they are pre teen.
