Hi,
Did you opt for this vaccine for your toddler? if so, at what age?
The pedia told me i can do it in the next few months, my baby is 13 months old. Still undecided if we have to do it soon.
Thanks.

Yes...we opted for it the moment my girl turned 1..

Both my sons had the shoot when they were about 14 months old. Actually my eldest son got chicken pox (very mild, only a few blister) when he was 8 months old. It was very uncomfortable, he kept crying - maybe he felt ictchy. When he turned one year old, my paedia said it was OK for him to have the shoot.

yes - had it at 12 months. of course the vaccine does not stop them getting chicken pox, but if they do, it will be in a milder form.

Hi Honeypie!
My daughter had the jab 2 weeks ago and she was fine. My docotor said some babies may react to it with a very mild fever in 10-14 days but most of them won't have any reactions. So don't worry about it, the recommended age is 12 months so it's fine to give it to your boy.

i was told that its compulsory in canada for the chicken pox vaccine and i believe its given at 1 year old.
i'm also thinking about giving the chicken pox vaccine to my 14month old daughter. the dr says if she gets chicken pox later it will be in milder form.
the only thing is that i also have to give her the 2nd flu jab and i'm told that i can give her the chicken pox vaccine at the same time. just seems 2 shots in one day is a bit too much and i dont know if the side effects may be worse. anyways, the dr says its ok to have the 2 shots at the same time, save the toddler from having shots on 2 separate days.

No vaccinations are compulsory in Canada.

After looking at this site one wonders whether to give vaccines to children and if it is safe?
Please support our advertisers:
Our daughters get all their vaccines as per doctor recommendations (US and now HK).
