My child got the chicken pox immunization, why does she now show symptoms of the chicken pox?

The immunization is to cut back on the severity. NOT to prevent chicken pox. You child will still get chicken pox, but they wont be as bad or as long.

My son got it too, back in June, and he's been immunized. The doctor told me that, for whatever reason, kids who had been immunized were getting this lower-grade form of chicken pox. It was very mild, with no fever, only a few spots that lasted for less than a week.

It's just her reaction to the immunization. Those aren't exactly chicken pox, that's just what the immunization does to keep her from actually getting the real thing.

The vaccination doesn't always keep your child from getting chicken pox, but it reduces the severity of the symptoms.
I've known people who've had chicken pox twice or three times. It all depends on how strongly your child's immunce system reacted to the vaccine.

Didn't you read the information that came with the shot? I think there is a one in every ten thousand who get a mild case of the illness from the shot. Lucky you..

Call your health care provider.

take her to the pediatrician, it could be some other rash/illness.
