Chicken pox Vac

[daileyjoy]

Both my children were given the shot by a sneaky nurse, I never even knew about it I wanted to expose them early on and have them get a natural immunity but now I'm not even sure they can get it. So does anybody know anything about how long after they are vacinated can they get it again and anything else that might be helpful.

Oh my. She really did that? I think I would report that. I don't know about the other stuff, though. I'm so sorry about that. Yikes.

the same nurse? when? how did this happen? she just gave the shot? i dont think that is even legal.. you are supposed to have to sign consent papers...

There have been some medical journal articles recently about the vaccine "protection" wearing off after a few years and discussion about needing "booster" shots. My impression was that the vax could last as little as two years and as much as five. I would just expose them as often as possible in the hopes that they will get em. Do make sure that they are in good health before you expose them to any illness!

Good luck,
Nana

hmmmmmmmm, I'd be suing anyone that gave my kid meds or vaxes without my ok

In TN you don't have to sign a consent form for Vac's in fact I've never even been asked or even heard it implied that I had a choice in the matter. It was the same nurse both times they do quickly tell you the shots as they are giving them but usually they give you the short version. I do not recall them ever telling me they were getting the chicken pox shot.
