Chicken pox vaccine

[86emz]

Has anyone had it done for their children? If so any side effects?

I have a 3 yo who goes to nursery and they have just sent an email out saying there's chicken pox going around .. I have a 10 day old baby and I would hate for him to catch it.

My friend mentioned that there is a vaccine these days .. but didn't know anything more about it apart from not being offered through the nhs and would have to book one.

Would you recommend?

All 3 of mine and best thing ever seeing how their poor friends suffered with cp, even the mild cases.

I know what you meant

I had my youngest vaccinated when she was about 1 or 2. She had chicken pox recently (aged 6) but only about 8 spots! It was so much milder than when my eldest had it. (I hadn’t heard of the vaccine at that time) Definitely worth it for us!
