Oldest ds is nearly 5 and had it a fortnight ago, was really spotty but not too ill. Now youngest ds (2) has it and he is absolutely covered in spots, totally miserable and itchy, hardly able to sleep and trying to claw himself I am doing everything I can to make him more comfortable but I feel so vexed for him! Why on earth don't we routinely vaccinate for it? it can be given in special circumstances, and other countries do it. The nhs website doesn't explain why not. It seems so needless for kids to go through this when there's a vaccine
AIBU?
To think we should routinely vaccinate against chicken pox?
