My sister and I both had chicken pox twice. my niece (25) has multiple scars on her face from it. My son (20) got it when she did but not a very bad case of it. My older daughter (22) never got it. When the vaccine came out I got both of them vaccinated. I will also be getting my little ones(3 and 4) vaccinated before they go to school. This disease makes kids miserable and can have complications. Exposing it to them unnecessarily is irresponsible parenting. Why would you take that kind of risk with the most precious thing in your life? All most vaccines do is expose kids to a dead virus. Why would you choose to expose them to the live virus?
