I have always assumed that when the pediatrician recommends a vaccination, that the shot would prevent the ailment. This is not entirely true. Some vaccinations actually do prevent the ailment, and other shots are not 100% effective.
The varicella vaccine is a shot that can prevent chickenpox. It is called varicella because the varicella virus causes chickenpox. Up to 90% of people who receive the vaccine will not get chickenpox. People who get chickenpox after having the vaccine have a milder form of the disease.
As of right now, my children fall in the 10% who get the chickenpox anyway. If you haven't had the chickenpox or the 'vaccine'....stay away from my house.
