1. My step daughter is anti-vaccination.

She has 3 beautiful daughters age 4 to 13. None of them have had their vaccinations. When my wife was alive, she had a really awful case of shingles. My step daughter wanted to bring her 3 kids down so they could catch the chicken pox. We told her no.

That 13 year old will really suffer from the chicken pox if she gets it at this late stage. I can't believe she doesn't protect her children.

I got my shingles vaccine after witnessing the horror of shingles in my wife. If you are over 60 get your shingles vaccination if you can.

2. I got chicken pox (pre-vaccine days) when

I was 16. It's a totally miserable disease for someone past childhood.

3. I knew a 20 yr old man who came down with chicken pox.

He was so miserable. He said there were times he wish he were dead. They ended up hospitalizing him. That was before they had the vaccine then too.

Vaccines not only save lives they can save people from excruciating pain too.

4. Absolutely right. I wasn't hospitalized (we didn't have a local

hospital at that time) but I really wished I were dead a number of times.

5. How horrible for you.

I'm going to send another link to my step daughter about the dangers of chicken pox latter in adults. She can still get the children vaccinated.
