So True! What you need to know is once you have the chicken pox the virus is always in your body. At the age fo 68 I had the shingles from the front of my chest to the back of my spine. Shingles are the pox virus reappearing after years of being dorment in my body. Believe me, you don't want the shingles and immunization against it is the only way you can be sure not to have it raise its ugly head later in life. I still have nerve damage that I feel everyday after years of having the shingles. There is also a shot you can receive now ( if older and had the chicken pox) that will not prevent shingles but will lessen the severity of it. If on your head or eyes can blind you, PLEASE don't put your children in this position later in life.
