Why immunize against chicken pox when you can get it for free?
As a young child in Appalachia, I discovered that mothers developed their own immunization program for chicken pox...they purposely exposed us.
Chicken pox lasts about a week and it tends to be very untimely. Children miss school; parents have to stay home and take care of them. Chicken pox is very inconvenient. Wouldn't it be nice if parents could plan when their kids got chicken pox? Well, they did. In the 1950's, innocent and naive children were forced to visit and play with kids that had chicken pox so they could get it, and get it over with. I was one of those victims and lived to tell about it.
Fairchance, Pennsylvania was a small town of a thousand or so people that knew each other. I was probably related, in some way, to just about everyone. Between my two parents, I had about 40 (yes, 40!) aunts and uncles and way too many cousins. When my cousin, David, came down with chicken pox, the word spread quickly in this little mountain community. My mother informed me that I was going to go play at Aunt Betty's house. When I arrived at my Aunt's, I was shocked to see that David was covered by sores. He looked like one of those zombies on Night of the Living Dead. My aunt reassured me that David "just had chicken pox" and needed some company. Two weeks later, as I sat covered with Calamine Lotion, I discovered the true nature of this public health encounter.
The only parents that really see chicken pox today are the ones that did not immunize their children. Although the vaccine is not 100%, it is quite uncommon to see a bad case anymore. The picture on this site is one of my little patients, the daughter of the nurse practitioner who practices in the same building. Obviously, for one reason or another, she was not vaccinated. As you can see from her little face, chicken pox is miserable and can leave some permanent pox marks in some people (I have one from that damned David!).
The immunity from the disease is close to 100%; the vaccine is not. The vaccine costs money; the disease is free....sort of. Before the advent of this vaccine, chicken pox cost the US economy MILLIONS of dollars every year, from medical costs to lost wages of working parents. This was really the first vaccine that was created primarily for economic reasons. Most children who get chicken pox will recover uneventfully, but children can and do die from this seemingly innocent childhood disease.
The varicella (chicken pox) immunization is not perfect. Few things are in this world, but it is sure preferable to the disease in my opinion. I am sure glad that we don't purposely expose kids in infectious diseases anymore. Oh, we actually do. Day-care.

This is too funny. My mom tried everything to get me exposed to Chicken Pox, but I never got it. Finally, when my son got the vaccine, his doctor gave it to me too, so at age, 30, I finally had immunity. I'm not sure that would have been a problem, since I obviously exposed and didn't catch it.
Quite interesting. I was about 6 when I developed chicken pox. My daughter now 11 has never had it. She was exposed several times, and never got the first sore. She did get the vaccine though. She didn't think she needed it, but I wasn't taking any chances. Her Dr said she probably had a natural immunity toit. I said Bring on the needle doc. She smiled and said good choice.
My daughter did get the vaccine at 1 year but now at 2 years old has the chickenpox. They are mild and not all over. Also they are very small (very very small). They look more like a rash. But they are chickenpox.
I say get your child vaccine even if it is not 100% because worse case they get a MILD case of the chicken pox.
From the way I understand it, if you've never had chicken pox, then you can't get Shingles later in life. That might be a good reason to get the kids vaccinated.
The vaccine can cause you to have Shingles later in life. The virus is given to you in the shot and then lies dormant in your body somewhere. Later on, you could develop Shingles.
My son had the vaccine-he is now nine and has he chicken pox, not a mild case, I might add. They are everywhere...on his body.
I have had the chicken pox twice... guess I am just special. The first time was a very light case as an infant and I only had 7 spots, the second time was as a first grader, and I had 263 spots (yes, my mom and I counted them).
can the chicken pox go inward
my daughter had the vaccine at age one and now just a month shy of her 2nd birthday she has the chicken pox! They are not mild at all. they are everywhere, especially on her arms and legs. they look like giant purple-red bruises because there are so many close toghther. the doctors said having the vaccing probally altered the way the case presented itself and it took 3 of them to decide what happened!
My 3 year old and 2 year old, both have the chicken pox at the moment, and its very bad. They look exactly like the little girl on the top of the page. And I have never heard of a vaccine for chicken pox. I wish i had because its horrible seeing my children going through this and not being able to help them.
The vaccine is not a 100% guarentee....my son is 3 and my daughter is 8 and both caught chicken Pox with in two weeks of each other. They both have had the shots against the virus and I believe that is why they have caught such a mild case, after working in the ER for 9 years, I've seen what the Chicken Pox can do to someone...not pretty.
My daughter is almost 13,she was exposed to the chicken pox atleast 5 times and never got them. Last year her school said she needed th e shot or couldn't attend school.I just went ahead and got the immunization.Well,she now has the chicken pox!!A very mild case but still out of school for a week.Her friend is on her second bout with them after the shot!!I hear because they are so mild they are getting them again.YIKES!!
That is too funny! My older brother got chickenpox, so my mom put me and my older sister in the same bed as him. I was too little to even remember. She was a stay at home mom, so she just got all three of us exposed at once.
My 5 1/2 year old son was vaccinated against chickenpox. He recently came down with a moderate case (confirmed by the DR) and imagine my surprise when 2 weeks later, he was all covered again! Confirmed by the doctor again, he is now out of school for yet another week, and me, no work!
My son just got chicken pox this morning. Is the doctor necessary? Single Dad, just trying to figure everything out. I did get him vaccinated when he was an infant. How long does it last? I got it when I was 7, so my memory is lacking.
I would say the dr is not necassary. Me im kind of old fashioned....no medicine if at all possible. But with me, my sisters and basically everyone ive known with chicken pox...rest, calamine lotion, and oatmeal baths generally do the trick. They usually last about a week!
In the state where I live chicken pox immunizations are required before a child can start school, but if a child has had chicken pox before the required immunization is waived. I caught chicken pox from my cousins before I start kindergarten so I was never required to get the shot and I have never had a recurrence of the disease. So I would suggest to try to get the pox naturally, as people that i've known to get it naturally usually don't have recurrences.
My son was vaccinated at age one . I was told this would protect him from getting them or at least if he got them it would be a mild case. WELL a boy he had a sleep over with ( a boy had never got the shot) got the chicken pox. Now My son now has the chicken pox and a MUCH more severe case than the boy who was never vaccinated.
GO FIQUIRE!!!!!! I quess I need now worry about his sister who was vaccinated as well and is presently being exposed.So 2 weeks from now we could be doing this again.Yeah summer break just started. My poor kids<><
If you don't take your child to the doctor, it can't be "documented", then, they'll still have to get the immunization when the school requires (her in MD, it's before 5th grade I think).
My 14mo old daughter broke out in spots, that after doing research on the internet look just like Chickenpox. Took her to the doctor this afternoon and the PA said it was Impetigo and to take antibiodics as the cultre they will grow to see if it is the pox won't be back till Monday. After doing research and looking at Impetigo pictures, I can't say I believe them. Will just wait and see I suppose.
When we got the vaccine, our pediatrician mentioned that our children probably won't get shingles. That is the reason why I got them the vaccine. I've heard shingles is horrible, so I think to give them the chance to avoid shingles is worth the cost of the vaccine. That is why I got it for my kids. Not economic so I could avoid missing work, but for their future health.
I got chicken Pox when I was 17 and it was awful!!! I don't know where I got but I wish that I could have done something to prevent it. (If a vaccine was available back then, we didn't know about it.) My eye swelled shut. My face was about twice the size that it normally is, I had the rash everywhere (and I mean AVERYWHERE, inside and out) and I was left with horrible scars.
My son had the vaccine when he turned 1 and approximately 20 days later, he developed chicken pox, I assume from the vaccine itself. Thankfully though he had no fever and he never really felt sick and best of all no scars.
I would take Chicken Pox to the Varicella vaccine ANY day. My son had Chicken Pox at 12.5 months and handled it fine. Vaccines are NOT all they claim they are. No child of mine will ever get the Chicken Pox vaccine.
My friend's son got Shingles at age 5, he had been vaccinated against Chicken Pox. It was horrible, he suffered nerve damage and everything. His little sister who was just over 1 year hadn't been vaccinated yet, got chicken pox, and was fully recovered in 9 days. Poor Levi took months to recover from his Shingles.
No one can force you to vaccinate your child. Every state has at least one of three exemptions; Medical, Religious, and Philisophical. Yes, an unvaccinated child can attend school! *gasp* In fact, the number of people who don't vaccinate is steadily increasing. The most that a public school system can do is make you take your child out of school for 2 weeks if a chicken pox outbreak happens. Now, a non-government funded school can refuse your child access. But any place that gets any money from the government cannot. Google "Vaccine Exemption Form" and add whatever state you're in and lots of information will come up!
Getting a vaccine for chicken pox is just stupid. Parents need to do some serious research before letting their kids be vaccinated. Just because your doctor says it's best, doesn't mean they are right. YOU are your child's advocate, look into things before just blindly following what you're told.
i got a shot for them when i was in the 3rd grade and now im 15 and still dont have it. can i still get it?
My son is 12 and his school notified us that they wouldn't let him register if he did not get the shot. He received the shot on a Friday by Sunday evening he was running 103 temp and started breaking out in blisters. I called the Dr Office on Monday and they stated it doesn't happen very often but some kids do get a mild case from the shot.Why wasn't this told to us before he got the shot. My son is coverd head to top of his feet. I do not consider this a mild case. He had been exposed to the virus on several occassions and never caught them. Could the virus in the shot have been stronger then normal due to the way the shot was stored? I wish I had know that we could have fought him having the shot.This just seems wrong to force Parents to get the kids shots by not informing them of all their options. To make matters worse he is now missing his first week of school!!!
I am going to turn 35 this Sunday and just three days ago, came down with chicken pox. I work in a school and come into contact with children with chicken pox all the time and never got it until now. According to the doctor, it's cuz my immune system is down this time and thus got it. Wanted to get vaccinated but kept putting it off cuz was so busy. Wish I did now. Getting is as an adult is miserable enough but looking and reading about children who get them so young, it must be even worse. Maybe them shots are worth having for the kids eventhough it's not 100% guranteed.
So let me understand the shingles argument. Kid gets chicken pox which then makes it possible for them to get shingles... right? Isn't the principle of a vaccine to give someone a weakened version of the virus which allows the body to fight it? So why would getting the vaccination be any different from actually getting the chicken pox?
If you aren't sure you have had chicken pox, they can test for it. My son was vaccinated but got a mild case. Since we thought I'd never had them, Dr. said to get tested immediately so we know if I needed to be treated. It was positive, I was immune and for the first time in 38 years I am NOT scared of the chicken pox! :)

I know two four year old boys who do not know each other and as far as I know have never been in contact with each other, both have had the chicken pox vaccine and both had shingles within the past year. Both docs, different md's from different practices, told the parents that it was a coincidence, shingles is caused by the same virus as chicken pox but this was not a result of them being vaccinated. I don't think it's a coincidence - if two people I know have had this problem, then I'm sure it is happening to a lot of small children. I wish I had done a little research before I had my son vaccinated. I will feel terrible for the rest of my life if I have to watch him go through what these other little boys went through recently.
I as a kid was vaccinated for chicken pox but when i started working in the medical field and the numerous vaccinations that you get found, that I had zero antibodies! So what happened next was a no brainer right? I had the usual double dose. You'll never guess who just got a doctors note to stay home for three days and loss of pay. Yes Kids I have the chicken pox at 35 years old. The shot unlike the flu shot and HEP B shot i recieved is live! It's not as bad as i thought the pox would be but damn if it isn't aggrivating. So the moral of the story is that if your body has a cold or what ever you can and will get the pox. They usually rear thier ugly head between 10 and 21 days after the shot! Good luck and think twice, before saying yes to the shot! Itchy in maine.
My son is three and currently has shingles because he is between his chicken pox shots (according to the doctor). He had the first but is too young for the booster. So instead of getting chicken pox once in his life, he will now have shingles for the rest of his life. Great job there doctors. My daughter has had both shots as she is 4. Hopefully she won't get it too.
I read this article and had to laugh at the punch line about day care. My 8 month son has just come down with chicken pox due to daycare. There was this poor miserable little boy at the gym daycare last week covered from head to toe in thousands of chicken pox. The daycare workers said the child had been cleared by the doctor (according to the child's mother). The red marks still looked pretty red and not completely scabbed over and the child was obviously feeling horrible. I am was so angry when I left (as quickly as possible) that someone couldn't take a week or two off from the gym to care for their ill child.
well...I'm at age 47 and i have the chicken pox. now go figure?
when i was in second grade both my cousins came down with chicken pox and my brother had had them when he was a baby but i had never had them so my mom sent me to my cousins to try and catch them thinking since i have immune system deficiency that it would be easy, well i never caught them, she did this a few other times with various friends but i never caught them. In fourth grade i got the shot and now today two weeks shy of my 21st birthday i have chicken pox... the shot worked for a little while but i wish i had gotten them much younger. They are BAD
my brother had chicken pox and my mother exposed me. he was 7, i was 3. this was 25 years ago. i contracted chicken pox. i remember being sick but i don't think it was horrific. neither me or my brother have had shingles. now my two kids, who have been vaccinated; have never showed any symptoms. they are 9 and 5.
Wow! well my cousin had chicken pox the other day and no one knew until he went home. He was at my house with the chicken pox. and my brother, siter, and I didnt get the chicken pox. Is it possible I can get it any day now?
My wife & I are not fans of the vaccine, and were fortunate enough to have a friend whose child contracted chicken pox last week. We immediately took the opportunity to expose our 2 year old son to the virus in hopes of contracting it now. The vaccine does not come close to 100% effectiveness. Chicken pox in adulthood can be a much more serious condition, and that is exactly what will be the likely result of the childhood vaccine. Also, there is some research that supports another theory about the vaccine. In the past, most people would be regularly exposed to the chicken pox. This would cause a natural redevelopment of the antibodies. Now, there is a concern that we will see a much higher rate of shingles in adults because their natural re-immunization has been taken away. Just this month, we have a friend whose 1.5 year old child, who did have the vaccine, has now been diagnosed with shingles. While a vaccine for chicken pox sounds like a good idea, there are many other possible results that are much worse than just having the disease in childhood. Our immune system has functioned appropriately for generations. Vaccinating for everything that comes along is not necessarily a good thing.
Haha this is funny! Lucky for me, My mom tried to give me chicken pox by making me play with my infected big brother... It didn't work out =).

We live on a small court of townhouses, there are 9 little boys between 5 and 10. Everyone's been vaccinated, different docs, different schools. Last year at age 5, one got CP and was out of school for three weeks. No symptoms other than the blisters. Now my two boys, 6 & 7 have the same-all blisters no fever or sore throat. that's 3/9-33% of the kids. Not great stats. Now I'm a teacher-that's 10-15 days of sub plans and mayhem to recuperate from when it's all over...And I'll have to dip into the sick bank because my sub days will run out before the ordeal is over....
My two oldest had chickenpox the old-fashioned way - daughter at age one, five spots only, and again at age 6; older son at the same time as her second bout, and he was COVERED - at 5 months old. Doc insisted on vax for younger son and guess what - he developed shingles.....poor little guy. But, as of 7-8 years ago I sure don't remember having TWO shots, just one.....
Is it even worth it then to receive the vaccine? Honestly. All these posts that I just read about people receiving the vaccine and still getting it. Why put all thsoe extra toxins from the vaccine into your body just to get the disease? Think about the millions and millions of dollars that the pharmaceutical companys are making off of a vaccine that clearly doesn't work. There is a better way to raise our children healthy. It is not by
injection or pills. It is by trusting the innate wisdom within each one of us that took us from 2 single cells and made us who we are today. As parents we must work to promote health Naturally allowing our children to express their inborn God given health potential. The body is amazing if we only understand how it works and nurture it by respecting the wisdom that gives it life.
Please read the book "Evidence of Harm" and educate yourselves regarding the real dangers of vaccines.
I have three children. All had the vaccination. All have had chicken pox this winter! My two little ones had a very mild case (youngest with 53 spots and middle with 128 spots), but my teenager (first year the vaccination was given, we got it) has a horrible case! She has them all over, even in her mouth and ears! We are not even attempting to count because she feels sick and has more on her face than the other kids had all over her body!
My son got immunized at 1 year....now at 13 years old he gets it...bad...they are everywhere.
I spent a lot of time debating whether to immunize my 13 month old son or to expose him to "wild" chicken pox. He was scheduled to get his vaccine two weeks ago, but came down with a fever the night before, so the doctor asked us to come back in a couple weeks for the immunization. In the meantime, he came down with Chicken Pox in day care. There's a part of me that's glad he got them naturally, but in retrospect, I'm not sure if it was worth it. He is miserable and hasn't slept more than a few hours a night for the last few days. It breaks my heart to see him suffer and to know there is nothing I can do about it. I can just imagine how I'd feel if I had purposely exposed him.
Well, my granddaughter was vaccanated when she was little. Now it's time for her booster. She is 12 and got the booster a week and a half ago. Four days ago I had to pick her up from school because she was sick. I took her home and we had a nice nap together.The next evening my daughter calls and tells me she thinks my granddaughter has chicken pox. Took her to the doctor the next morning and yep its chicken pox! I'm 51 years old and have never had them. I'm waiting to see what happens. Also my husbend has bile duct cancer and he's never had chicken pox either. I just hope we both have a natural immunity.
my daughter who is 5 just got it. I received a vaccine for this when i was a little girl can i still get it as a parent if i had never had it?
I just want to address some of the comments above regarding the relationship between shingles and Chicken Pox. Shingles and Chicken pox are both caused by the same virus (varicella zoster virus). After someone is infected with chicken pox (i.e. the VZV), they will unforunately have the virus for life. Subsequent reactivation of the virus down the road results in Shingles (usually when people are older and their immunse system is waning). Therefore, prevention of the Chicken Pox with the vaccine will also prevent shingles, but as mentioned above it is not 100% efficacious (although it's pretty good). The CDC also recommends that persons >60 (with and without history of chicken pox) receive a similar vaccine (higher dose) to "boost" their immune system and prevent shingles.
Hope this helps clear up any confusion!
Right now, now one is really sure how long the vaccine lasts (conceivably it's possible to get chicken pox down the road even if immunized)
3 YEAR OLD WITH SHINGLES. THEY ARE DISGUSTING. I NEVER HEARD OF LITTLE ONES GETTING SHINGLES. I WOULD RATHER HAVE PLAIN CHICKEN POX MYSELF. THE DOCTOR SAID ITS FROM THE VACCINATION AND HE WILL PROBABLY GET SHINGLES AGAIN LATER ON IN LIFE, BUT THEY WILL ONLY BE ON HIS HAND ARM, LIKE THEY ARE NOW. HE DOESN'T HAVE A FEVER BUT YOU CAN TELL HE DON'T FEEL GOOD.HMM..i AM WORRIED ABOUT MY OWN SON WHO HAS RECEIVED THE VACCINATION 3 TIMES DO TO POOR RECORD KEEPING OF MINE & HD. THE LAST TIME HE WAS IMMUNIZED THEY WANTED TO GIVE IT TO HIM AGAIN WHICH WOULD MAKE IT THE 4TH AND I HAD A FIT. I WENT TO HIS PEDIATRICIAN AN GOT COPIES OF IMMUNIZATIONS HE HAD THEIR AND TOOK THEM TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT SO THEY COULD ADD THEM TO THEIR RECORD 'S AND SURE ENOUGH HE HAD IT. I THOUGHT THEY REPORTED THAT STUFF TO THE HD. BUT I'M NOT TAKING CHANCES ANYMORE. I HOPE HE DON'T EXPERIENCE ANY PROBLEMS LATER ON. PARENTS SHOULD HAVE A SAY SO ABOUT NEW IMMUNIZATIONS.
My 3 year old was exposed to her mother in law with shingles ten days ago. This morning I noticed that she had a half dozen faint pink spots on her stomach but no other symptoms. Her father is convinced that she has the chicken pox, but I am unsure. She did have the vaccine.
My daughter had the vaccine when she was one and she'll be two next month. A few days ago she had a fever and then the next day she was fine. yesterday i noticed she had a rash, it wasnt too bad. I figured it was just a heat rash. It turns out that chicken pox is going around my brother in laws school. Today her rash is worse, red patches all over her body and face. I feel so bad for her.
I got chicken pox when I was about 5. I never got the vaccine. I had shingles on my back by the time is was 12. It does suck and it hurts. I don't know if you can get shingles twice but I wouldn't want it again.
I was wondering if it is possible to have an outbreak of chicken pox and shingles at the same time?
My 4 y/o daughter was vaccined (along with my other 2 kids). We took her to the hospital with blisters all over her body. Low and behold she has the chicken pox but there is a part on her arm that the Dr.'s were concerned about and said looked like shingles.
So can you have BOTH at the same time? I'm going today to get a second opinion with her PCP, but I was wondering if anyone has had this experience before?

I had chicken pox when I was 7, and had it bad. All over, even in my eyes. I remember being pink (from the lotion) and miserable. Later on , when I was 18 and working in a nursing home, I woke up after work with horrible sores areound my upper mid section. My doctor diagnosed me with Shingles and said that because I had chicken pox before and likely because I was exposed to someone at the nursing home who was also battling with shingles. Their infection spiked mine and poof... I was im misery again. Shingles present their sores and breakouts near nerve endings, and around your upper chest and back there are bundles of nerves...
It HURTS and itches...stings almost...and it is the worst thing I have ever had. It takes forever to go away :(
My granddaughter has been vaccinated (around age 1). She just came down with about 15 bright red spots on both arms and one leg. This is her second week and they still do not itch!
Has anyone else experienced pox that do not itch?
Well I must say that a persons reaction to any virus or shot has to do with that individual's immunes system. I received the shot as a pre-teen now 28 and was exposed to the pox and shingles (alot).Father got the shingles late...very late in life after not having pox and went through hell and I never gotten either...my boyfriend has the shingles right now (after having the pox once when he was younger). So I really do belive it depends on the person. I personally always get my children immunized. Also I believe that breast feeding children plays a huge role in building a great immunity for them (but that's another subject) So... I think if you get the shots or not....It depends on the individual.
Our 7 yr old daughter has chickenpox (we think). She was vaccinated at age one and has not yet had her booster shot. She only has about 25 spot on her stomach and a few spots in other areas. I took her to an Urgent Care Clinic where she was diagnosed with Chicken Pox. I was told they do not present the same way after the vaccination and that the medical profession is still learning about this after the vaccination. I asked about her getting shingles now that she has had both the vaccination and the disease and she was unsure due to insufficient data. I am very frustrated not at her responses, however I needed to call my daughter’s pediatrician and they stated it does not sound like chicken pox and requested I take her in. After a very lengthy discussion this doctor advises me it is NOT chicken pox but a heat rash. Today she developed more spots so I called the doctor again and now they are thinking that maybe it is chicken pox. They said if she develops more she needs to be seen yet again tomorrow and the only true way to determine if this is chicken pox is when she is done to have a blood test and that will give us a definitive answer. We could have hare tested now and then again in a week and that would give us the answer too. Our biggest problem now is do we inform our daycare she has them or not.
"Before the advent of this vaccine, chicken pox cost the US economy MILLIONS of dollars every year, from medical costs to lost wages of working parents"
you're right. but now the government gets to pay MUCH more than that to the vaccine companies to formulate and distribute some poison for our children. it's all about the economy.
Well my daughter never got her immunization shot for the chicken pox... she was suppose to get it on the 17th of this month.
She is 4 & 1/2 and missed her first day of school because of them. It was them the Doctor confirmed it for me.
This has gone on about 13 days now... they were just healing up good, don't look like she'll have any scars.
But this afternoon... I checked her again.... she's broken out AGAIN!!!!
OMG... how can she get them again before they even heal 100%???
I myself have had then several times in my life... once as a new born, once at 7 yrs old & once at 12.... but at least there was a gap!!!
That is so funny reading all the comments...makes me feel better.
Almost 6 year old not vaccinated (not available in Aust when she was a baby).
Recently exposed to a vaccinated baby.....now has CP. I have been through CP myself and two older children without contracting it again....an guess what....I now have it again!!!
My mother never intentionally exposed me to it, but I never got the chicken pox. She said we were exposed many times and figured either we got a really mild case that she didn't even notice or we developed an immunity without getting the disease (yes it's possible.. maybe not for CP) My oldest sister got the vaccine when she went to college. When I was in the 8th grade (about to turn 13) I got the chicken pox and spread it to my two sisters still living at home (2 years older & younger) I have a few dozen scars as a permanent reminder of the miserable experience and I wonder if the extreme weight gain I experienced shortly after is connected or a coincidence. I've heard that getting chicken pox as a teen can cause fertility problems and I've also heard that the claim is bull crap. My menstrual cycle has been irregular since the following summer, but that could be connected to the weight gain. Many overweight women don't produce enough hormones. I just can't help but wonder if getting chickenpox at that age left permanent marks in places other than my skin.
how long do chicken pox stay with you?1 or 2 days?5 or 6?Maybe a couple weeks,months what is it?
i am nine years old right now,i have not had shots and my babysitter's daughter has chicken pox.My dad said i will get them eventually,so....i have a question.how long do chicken pox stay with you?1-2 days?5-6?Maybe a couple weeks,months ?what is it?
