Can a child who has been previously immunized against chicken pox, get chicken pox?

Question

My granddaughers have some spots on them that look very suspicious to me, a mother of 4!

Answer 1

Happens all the time. Should be a less serious case and will help her immunity.

Lots of people have a mild case even though they were immunized,

The research also is not clear if the protection the vaccine does give is life long yet!

Answer 2

"It's true that the vaccine won't guarantee that your child will never get chicken pox — about 15 percent of those vaccinated will still get a very mild case, with no fever and fewer than ten blisters. And experts can't be sure that the immunity it offers is permanent. But we do know that the chicken pox vaccine has been used in Japan for about 25 years with no evidence of fading immunity."

Answer 3

Yes - the immunization doesn't prevent them from getting the illness, it just prevents them from getting it very badly. The immunization causes the child to buil up antibodies against the germ. Thus way the syptoms are so bad.

Answer 4

I chosen to get my oldest vaccinated adversarial to hen pox. The vaccine had basically come out. i became operating comprehensive time, my baby became in day care, and that i didn't wish to take any opportunities. through the time my youngest all started college (i became a SAHM through then), the hen pox vaccine became needed, so both my children gained the hen pox vaccine.

Answer 5

yes, if the immune system didn't mount an effective response against the vaccine

but most of the time the disease would be mild

Answer 6

dont think so.... I'd get them checked out rather than just using calamine lotion hoping they'll go away..
