I never saw suffering like I saw when the guys (adults) contracted chicken pox. A vaccine is a Godsend for adults who have not had the disease as a child
My hubby had chicken pox at 40. Ran fever for 2 whole days. Spots for 10 or so. Back to work 2w after last spot dried up. No big deal really. Except for the MONTH off work. He itched, he bitched, he recovered.
He also doubled his d3 dosage when he first started with the fever. We were expecting it kind of, the kids had had it and he couldn’t remember having it as a kid. He even had spots on the bottom of his feet. He took a benadryl and a warm aveeno bath at night so he could sleep but that’s it.
The kids only ran fever for 1 day. Other than having spots and itching and complaining about not being allowed outside in the sun they were fine too. I’m actually glad they got it. Now they won’t have to worry about a vaccine booster wearing off while they’re pregnant and finding out the hard way. Chicken pox during pregnancy is worse than rubella.
