Chickenpox vaccine
Find out about the chickenpox vaccine, including who can get it on the NHS, how to get it and what the side effects are.www.nhs.uk
Being exposed to chickenpox as an adult (for example, through contact with infected children) boosts your immunity to shingles.
If you vaccinate children against chickenpox, you lose this natural boosting, so immunity in adults will drop and more shingles cases will occur.
Dunno why you need a vaccine for something that we've just allowed to circulate naturally for a long time. Chickenpox party if your that worried.
Pretty sure the evidence points to that not being the case, US has been using it since 1995 and Germany 2002 I think so plenty of evidence now.
Chickenpox can badly scar you for life, my brother had it and he's a mess from the marks left over.
Also I had chickenpox as a kid and also ended up with shingles later on in life, stress related at the time I believe.
