They said the Delta variant is as contagious as chickenpox...

... and whats fucked up is.... a large percentage of the population dont even remember how contagious chickenpox are because theyve been vaccinated against it. help!

Anyone born after 95 doesnt know that there was a time when getting chickenpox sometime in childhood was inevitable.

If you were around 1 person that had it, you were guaranteed to show symptoms within a few days.

Didn't parents use to set up play dates when one kid had chicken pox so all the kids will get it?

That's how my sister and I got it, and then a few years later they had a vaccine for it.

It's better not to get it at all. It leads to shingles later in life.

I was born pre-chickenpox vax and I got the pox in kindergarten. I still remember the sores, the burning itch, the extreme discomfort. IIRC I was out 2 weeks.

Even better still, get vaxxed for whatever you and your kids can get vaxxed for.

Well this is fucking mind blowing. I had chickenpox as a kid (born in 92) and have assumed that it was just a thing every kid goes through (which it was, it seems) and am just now finding out about the vaccine. I even wondered about why none of my younger cousins or any of my friends' children seemed to have caught it.
If you were born in 92 you should have received the vaccine

Well, no shit, but before the vaccine, the chances of going through life without catching it were almost nil.

Same here. I was born in '83 and got it in '89 I believe (first grade seems about right). I don't have any particularly horrible memories from the experience, but it certainly wasn't pleasant. Anyway, I can sympathize, the chicken pox vaccine is a milestone in history that completely flew under my radar, lol; I only first heard about it a couple years ago.

The vast majority of people contracted it at some point during their childhood back then.

If I did, I was too young to remember. Or my mom didn't get me vaccinated (which is not surprising...). Either way, had it when I was like six or seven. Even have a pox circle on my nose lol.
That sucks, sorry man.

I had chicken pox as a toddler, I think.

Had shingles at 11.

I remember being sick and out of school for shingles but don't remember it being particularly bad. Though when I'm sick I sleep so

My parents always told my I had it when I was like a year old, then when I was volunteering at a hospital they made me take an antibody test for it and I had none. Had to get the vaccine, I guess somehow I never got it growing up.

Asked my parents later and they were like You had like 8 pox on your back when your brother had it, we assumed you got it. It was probably just baby acne

You should do some research on it. Don't be worried but you should always be on the lookout for shingles if you have caught chicken pox

Did you see a doctor? Are you at risk of infertility?

yeah thats how i got it, my neighbours had it and my mom sent me over. Her reasoning is valid older males who get chickenpox have a risk of becoming sterile, where as a child those risks are not present at all.

I dont know, but since you were old enough to get a woman pregnant, Id guess it isnt zero.

And here I thought shingles wasnt a concern till the 50s. Wonder why they dont give the vaccine at an earlier age?

Somehow I managed to avoid it even though one of my friends got it. Looking back on things I pretty much hit the lottery.

It's definitely more common later in life but I was like 30ish when I got shingles.

It didn't exist until 95 and it's still only 70% effective against shingles.

That's odd, my school district started requiring in the late 80's, it if a student didn't already contracted the virus.

actually, trumpers want covid to break havoc until a republican wins again, then they will suddenly want the vaccine and face masks and will want the virus to go away

Here in the UK the chickenpox vaccination is only available to people at serious risk of complications from catching chicken pox or their family. So most kids still get it. I didn't even know there was a vaccine until this topic
