I absolutely hated having chicken pox as a kid, so we are going to vaccinate our daughter (have just been a bit slow about it...
). And then there is of course the added benefit of not getting shingles as an adult.Vaccines HepA/B
The chicken pox vaccine doesn't give 100% immunity, but if one gets it later, it's most probably a mild version. Btw, one can actually get chicken pox several times, so that isn't 100% sure either, although it is pretty rare. As I have understood it, they are not sure how long the chicken pox vaccine will last, so it might be prudent to re-vaccinate later on.

My doctor recommended I get the vaccine after I have the baby. My sister had it as a child, so not sure how I didn't contract it as well. Plus I work with kids, so I guess I too should get one. The thought of shingles is frightening.
