Is it really worth to get my 15 months old chicken pox shot?


Is it really worth to get my 15 months old chicken pox shot?My son is 15 months old, He never had chicken pox shot yet because I wasn't ready and I wasn't sure if he should get one, Because myself I never had chicken pox shot so is my husband, My mother told me I only had twice chicken pox so far. I was thinking maybe when my son get closer to school he can have chicken pox shot but his doctor said it's wasn't good idea and should have chicken pox shot by now. I really don't know and confused because I am very afraid of chicken pox shot can cause some side effect just like one of my aunt's son who is 15 months old also, She said her son had chicken pox shot and then next day he had chicken pox. I am very afraid and don't want my son through the same. So please help me and tell me what do you think, how was your children doing after chicken pox shot, & is it really worth for my son get chicken pox shot? I need to know before my son go back to the doctor in 3 weeks.

and should my son have flu shot? because some babies I know of have been very sick after flu shot, I am very nervous and don't know what to do. I don't want my son been very sick after flu shot, I think flu shot don't work good sometime cause every some people who had flu shot they still get sick anyway?

They can't get the illness from the immunizations. They don't use a live virus. All 4 of my kids have had it, and they have had no ill effects.

I would do what the Dr suggests. When they get the chickenpox, some kids get really sick. Most kids do not have side effects from the shots.

1st it is a weakened live virus vaccine so it CAN'T cause the disease. 2nd there what is called an incubation time (the time you exposed to the disease and the time in which symptoms appear) with chicken pox it is 12-14 days so the person you mentioned must have came in contact with someone during that time period perhaps unaware. 3rd it can be deadly to get chicken pox 4th you really should read about SHINGLES not fun that can come later in life from having the actual chicken pox disease that lays dormant in your body and can come back...i know vaccines are scary but they are for the greater good i think. my child just had a flu shot and handled it well at 6 mos. check up must have one more follow up...it's well worth it when you see what happens when they get sick...just ask for preservative free vaccine. and the influenza vaccines are suppose to very good this year as last year so many got ill anyway ...hoped this helped

Answer by raindrops667
The immunization actually can give you the virus/illness you are trying to prevent, but its very rare that it happens. Even so wouldn't you want your child to have the shot and if he were to get chicken pox from it, now when he can't remember it. They say the chicken pox are worse after you get older because you have more body surface making it more painful and harder to get rid of. Most people only get it once because your body makes antibodies against it. I would also get any other vaccine my doctor suggested, they know what their talking about.

Answer by Katherine
Some kids still die from getting the chicken pox naturally, so I would opt for the vaccine. While it is still possible to get the disease after the vaccinne, it is mild and not life threatening. I remember getting chicken pox at the age of 6, and I was in screaming agony for days. I had pox inside my eyelids and on the roof of my mouth and on the soles of my feet. It was quite literally torture. And I was left with scars on my face. However, the kids I've known who have gotten chicken pox after the vaccine have only gotten 3 or 4 pock marks that haven't itched, spread, or caused them any issues at all.

Flu shots only protect against certian strains of flus, but it is usually recommended for the very young and very old, since kids and seniors are the ones that occasionally die from influenza.
