To have my child vaccinated against chicken pox...

... even though there's no medical reason to do so (i.e. chicken pox doesn't pose a risk to anyone he's in contact with)?

To be honest my reasons are kind of selfish for getting him vaccinated - he picks up everything from nursery so it's only a matter time I think. We've got a holiday booked in September and I understand you can't fly for 7 days after the first spot.

Has anyone had their child vaccinated privately and why did you do it? I haven't read any cons to the vaccination itself in respect of the child being vaccinated; only to the wider population hence why the vaccine isn't part of the routine NHS program.

We did it. You don't know when they will get it or how badly they will get it. I suddenly thought what if they broke out in them just before we were due to fly off on holiday. And promptly booked an appt at the local pharmacy. Worth every penny!
