Question

Answer 1

That's not true. It's brain wash from the Big Pharmceutical companies. She would then have a dorment Chicken Pox virus residing in her spinal column that would break out as Shingles later in life.

Answer 2

I found this on pubmed: "In the UK vaccination is not done because introduction of a routine childhood vaccination might drive up the age at which those who are non-immune get the illness (chickenpox tends to be more severe the older you are), and the incidence of shingles may increase. The United Kingdom is waiting to see what happens in countries where vaccination is routine."

I think that's a crappy reason...I'm really sorry that your daughter wasn't vaccinated! It seems that countries in Europe are moving towards vaccination, though, so hopefully kids in the future won't have to suffer. Although, in the end, your daughter is much better off getting sick now.

Answer 3

The Department of Health is expected to introduce a chicken pox vaccine in the UK Vaccination Programme within the next three to five years.

Answer 4

Chicken Pox, is a common childhood disease, and although she may be sick now, if she contracted it as an adult it could be much worse. Vaccines are given to lessen the chances of getting the disease but, people can still contract it even if they have had a vaccine. Often vaccines given in childhood, are no longer effective when the child has grown. Small Pox vaccines are given and chicken pox is a strain of that, so often the chicken pox is less severe. Your family Doctor can inoculate your child against certain diseases if you wish. The decision about what inoculations should be given, is based on the number and severity of any outbreaks. Chicken Pox , like TB are now considered under control.

Answer 5

Vaccinations aren't all good. Ask a naturopath or a homeopath and they'll agree that vaccinations compromise the immune system and the more you have the worse the effects later on.

A homeopathic remedy would help the symptoms of chicken pox. Pulsatilla or Rhus Tox. according to the patient's type. I gave my son Rhus Tox when he came out in his first three spots and he never got any more. It helps older people with shingles too.

Answer 6

Actually it is now found that the vaccine now needs a booster shot! for real! I was lucky enough to get it at a young age and had it BAAAAAAAAD. Just be thankful she will be more protected than the people who had the shot. :)

Answer 7

no idea, give you daughter warm salty baths, then pat dry ,cover the spots in calamine lotion this will soothe the pain if she has them in the head just pour the calamine onto the scalp she Will look funny but who cares it's a pain relief, we have a very strick code involving drugs in this country so that's probably why.

Answer 8

we only have had it for a few years.
I won't use it on my son.
It should only happen ONCE, if not, then you need to contact the doctor- its not the same virus.

I had them, as did my husband- Ironically- you child will have a stronger immune system aftert the fact. Best wishes.
They are miserable.

Answer 9

there are inoculations for mad cow disease and they won't use them either. i don't think the uk feels it needs them for their version of a healthy society, go figure.
national health aint' all its cracked up to be.

Answer 10

the goverment is too tight to pay for it x
