I had chicken pox but my brother got the shot. Now I have the milestone of shingles and he never will yay
I got the shot and still got chicken pox later in life. I was the unlucky tiny percentage.
Get your shots people.
I never got chicken pox or the shot because we couldn’t prove if my mom had it or was vaccinated as a kid. They thought maybe I was immune, and as a teenager did some testing. I’m not immune.
I’m soon to be 36 and absolutely terrified of it. Im too old to be vaccinated against it now so I just have to do everything I can to avoid exposure but it can literally kill me at this age.
I hate people who don’t vaccinate their kids. I didn’t have a choice because of missing medical records and risk to my mom. But to choose not to do so because of woo woo shit? Fuck you.
Chicken pox vax was not a thing when I was little. I had to go stay with my grandparents when I got chicken pox cause my mom never had it
I got chicken pox in my 30s, before a vaccine was available.
It's the only time in my life I considered becoming a pavement bollard by taking a dive from my 3rd floor apartment.
The pain was so bad that I ran a shower without the cold tap on until I passed out...for 2 days. Yes, I got hyperthermia, and was severely dehydrated but it was the only way the pain would stop.
Anti vaxxers are to be treated with contempt and mocked ceaselessly.
Note: I think you can get the vaccine at any age. Check with a reputable doctor or your local health authority.
I’m gonna check again but I was told years ago that I was out of luck and to be extremely careful
There's a lot of vaccines that get approved for one age group first, then they go through the process for a wider age range
Pretty sure you can get vaccinated against chickenpox, check that.
Here I know there is a shingles shot but only after you're 50 for some reason
Yeah can’t do the shingles shot because I had to have the chickenpox for that
You can get vaccinated against chicken pox as an adult.
Same. Literally everyone in my kindergarten class got it except me. I don't think there even was a vaccine back then. At least the kids I spend time around these days have had their shots.
Same with me! All of my siblings got it. It just wasn't around when I was little.
even without nurgles gift of shingles, chicken box was on of the worst experiences of my life. Mom had to cover all the mirrors, it was soo hot because it was summer, I was constantly told not to scratch or pop them, the only relief was the oatbath that now I associate the smell with happiness/hope and crying cause mom had to take me out. This is crap anti vaccination wants for all children. Wtf character did it give me? It only filled me with more anger and drive to not want anyone suffer like this.
