NHS has been refusing to vaccinate against chickenpox for many years. Finally changed its mind in the last year or two.
(Got both of my kids (5&7) vaccinated privately. Don't regret it at all.)
- _dain_ 11mo ago>NHS has been refusing to vaccinate against chickenpox for many years. what the fuck. why? god damn I hate rNHS national cult. better get myself vaxxed to undo this idiocy.
- AndrewDucker 11mo agoI believe the worry was twofold: 1) That people who couldn't be vaccinated would get the virus later in life (because it would be less common), when it's a much more serious illness. 2) That there was a protective effect against shingles from having people regularly encounter the disease by encountering children with chicken pox. But it turns out that the latter isn't actually an issue.
- _dain_ 11mo agowtfff are there more vaccines they're hiding from us?
