Again, our pediatrician advised the shot was not necessary. I don't know the answer to this, but is the chicken pox vaccine good for a lifetime? And since chicken pox is dangerous for adults, why aren't we vaccinating adults who have never had chicken pox?
I am not against vaccinating for other life threatening diseases. But I question how chicken pox was thrown in to this category.
The pediatric group that was treating my kids, in 1993, did not think the vaccine was critical. In fact, they only recommended it when missing work would be a hardship for mom & dad. Five years later, it's critically important that school children are vaccinated for it. As a side note, the public schools lose money every time a child is absent. Maybe that plays a part in this.
But it is the doctors that recommend and administer the vaccine. You are saying they are either dishonest and in the pocket of vaccine manufacturers or stupid.
