CHICKEN POX VACCINE 🐔

Following as I'm thinking of getting it for my son. It's not on NHS. You can book it at pharmacies and it's approx 140 pounds. It's 2 jabs x

Didn't even know there was one xx

I think it's about £60. My husband hasn't had chickenpox either, but my gp said it's better for childs immune system to get chickenpox

My little has already had chicken pox

We have given 1 of the 2 jabs. Just waiting for the 2nd. We went to superdrug. You pay for each dose when you get it, in total its £140. Some places are £130.

We chose to give in because my child comes to work with me and we visit different children everyday so didnt want to be picking it up and passing it around as it has a long incubation period. It would also take me out of work (self employed) for atleast a week.

Some kids get it mildly, some scratch and leave permanant scars (i have them on my face) and some need hospital treatment. Its not really as 'not bad' as a lot make out, for all

Chicken pox is generally less severe when contracted naturally, opposed to a synthetic version given in a vaccine. Contracting chicken pox naturally also boosts a child’s immune system massively, so whilst unsettling and inconvenient for a a week or so, it does have some benefits. Trust me, I’m not looking forward to my little one getting it as I HATE it when she’s ill but part of me hopes sooner rather than later!

When she contracts it I’m planning to use the remedy Rhus Tox which i know friends have used with huge success, lots of oat baths and letting the temperature (if there is one) do its job.

But you know your child better than anyone and what you choose to do is absolutely valid and your decision! Xx
