I understand most vaccinations. But to avoid the chicken pox? Why?
Researchers say children getting the pox is a GOOD thing, as their bodies/immune system are learning how to fight. If you don't give them something to fight, how will it strengthen?
They also say, it is actually dangerous to get the vaccination because it will wear off when they are adults, making them susceptible to the pox ..... which can be deadly to adults.
Yes, some families have a bad history of the pox, in which case I understand if you want to avoid it.
But other than that, come on guys .... the chicken pox is no big deal. We, as humans, have been getting it for ages. Don't fall for it. They are not "omg, so dangerous!". In fact, more people have died from the vaccination than the actual chicken pox.
So, WHY get the vacc????
