I’ve gotten all my vaccinations, as has my kid, but not against chickenpox.

Most children receive MMRV (Measles, Mumps, rubella and varicella) an attenuated vaccine. A small amount of a live virus that your body can then produce natural antibodies. The best kind of vaccination that is extremely effective, but not suitable for children getting chemotherapy. It is the full virus but only a tiny amount. Attenuated vaccines are not suitable for some very serious viruses, unfortunately.

You’re supposed to get chickenpox, aren’t you? I had it when I was 7, my kid had younger than that, but neither of us developed shingles and are now immune for life.

Most parents just want their kid playing with others that have chickenpox so that way you get natural immunity from having contracted the virus. It is not for life but for approximately 10-20years. As a child, it is a minor irritation as I too contracted chickenpox around 7yrs old so I didn't require MMRV, but It should definitely be up for contemplation from observant and good parents.

Why would you get vaccinated against a dose that only lasts a week and you can only get once?

So that your bloodline doesn't end with you is a pretty good reason.

If your kids get one of the MMR viruses after puberty then they can become sterile. Also, measles can be deadly. So if it looks like your children won't get the virus before then, you need to give them the injection unless the parent is a complete retard, then Darwinism takes over thankfully and wipes out the fuckwit genes from the gene pool. Fingers crossed a virus wipes out Mormonism.

You typically receive MMRV at 4-6years but you can receive it up to the age of 12. Typically girls can go through puberty 8-13, boys 9-15yrs on average.

Is it fear of shingles or what’s the purpose?

As I explained earlier that is not the primary reason, but shingles is a very serious illness that can be a recurrence of measles that can lead to pneumonia and blindness plus debilitating nerve pain for several months, crippling nerve pain that can leave you bed-ridden.

Shingles is the Herpes Zoster, it can be triggered by an immune response later in life from previously having had Measles, Mumps or Rubella.

Being bed-ridden for half a year with what feels like knives stabbing you all over your body including your genitals, possibly going blind for the rest of your life and a very real chance of dying from fluid and pus in the lungs sounds awesome though.

I thought shingles was a response to the chicken pox virus later in life, not to measles, mumps or rubella? And in my country we only give the MMR, not the MMRV. I think we can get a chicken pox vaccination as a stand-alone but nobody bothers unless there’s specific reasons to get it. Don’t even recall it being recommended when we were getting my little one vaccinated.

So you are right, thanks for the correction. Measles and Rubeola are separate from Chicken pox, mumps and shingles.

Shingles results from a reactivation of the virus long after the chickenpox illness has disappeared.

It can also be varicella from what I understand that can also reactivate the virus causing shingles.

And in my country we only give the MMR, not the MMRV.

MMRV should supersede MMR as Varicella has also been known to cause shingles.

"Herpes zoster, also known as shingles, is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), the same virus that causes varicella (chickenpox)."

Don’t even recall it being recommended when we were getting my little one vaccinated.

It won't be if they are very young, it is up to the parent to be informed about the health of their children, not the state. There is a very real "opportunity" for the child to come in contact with the virus when young which is preferable.

But anti-vaxxers are complete fools and should not be lumped in with people who are Covid-19 vaccine-hesitant.

This I agree with entirely. It just seems such an absolutist position to take to lump them all together. The MMR and polio vaccines are brilliant, I’ve never known anyone who has gotten any of those doses but when I was a child there was a guy on TV called Jeremy Beadle who had visible polio injuries, and that wasn’t rare in men of his age. Just illustrated to me how completely we had eradicated those diseases in our societies thanks to vaccinations. But that doesn’t automatically mean every vaccination will be as good because they are similar types of medicine. Like I think paracetamol is a god send as a painkiller, it doesn’t immediately follow that I want to get myself strung out on opiates just because they are also painkillers.
