Chicken pox vaccination?

[JugglingChaotically]

Some countries (US,Canada?) do this as standard. DD(7)still hasn't had chicken pox despite lots of friends having it at nursery and school.
It gets worse as you get older. Should I have her vaccinated instead?
Anyone done this?

Should add that her skin is pretty bad with ezcema so more scratching (yes, she knows not to, lots if cream etc etc), scabbing would be pretty grim.

I'm glad you asked this, I was wondering the same.

My DD is 12, I would hate her to get it now.

I've had dd and ds vaccinated (3yo and 18mo). There's quite a few threads about it on here if you advance search. I did some research and decided I wanted them to have it.

DS1 was vaccinated (we were living in the US at the time). He still got chicken pox, just very mildly - lots of mildly itchy little red spots that never came to much and went away again.

Thanks Spotty and Squirell.
Downton - glad I'm not the only one considering this as some friends have given the shocked "why" reaction...
