Chickenpox Vaccine

Chickenpox Vaccine

Chickenpox is commonly a childhood disease that affects children usually, but not always, under the age of 12. If your child gets the chicken pox he or she may need to be vaccinated, or get a chicken pox vaccine that will treat the childhood virus.

How can you tell if your child has chickenpox? Your child may come home from school with an itchy rash that quickly turn into red spots. These “red spots” or “pock markes”  usually look like small blisters.

Most kids will get a mild grade fever and generate flu like symptoms.

Treating Chicken Pox: Keeping your child comfortable and treating the symptoms is the best way to treat chickenpox. There is no way to stop chickenpox in its tracks. There are chickenpox vaccines now that most schools require children to have before entering pre-school. This prevents the mass spread of the virus to all the school children.

How long will your child have chickenpox? The actual chickenpox virus is caused by the varicella-zoster virus. Those children who acquire the virus will get the typical symptoms and get over the virus within approximately 4 days.

It’s important to keep the itchy bumps under control, because once kids begin scratching them, they may in fact scratch them open exposing the open area to many different infections that are everywhere. Children that have a weaker immune system are at a higher risk for getting an infection. If your child is at higher risk for infection then getting your child vaccinated is probably a good idea.

Why does my child need vaccinated from chickenpox?

Another excellent reason for vaccinating your child is that when a child gets chickenpox when they are a child, they are at a higher risk for developing shingles as an adult. Some people are under the misconception that they will be immune to shingles once they have had chickenpox and this is just not true.

Most adults can remember having chickenpox as a child and we remember how uncomfortable those itchy bumps were. Luckily, your child no longer has to needlessly suffer from these symptoms. Medical science has made it possible to avoid Chickenpox all together. Make sure you keep your child up to date on all his or her vaccinations.
