1) Chicken pox is no party. If your child gets it,
he's likely to develop a rash of
itchy, painful blisters accompanied
by fever and fatigue. If the blisters get
infected, he may need antibiotics.
They may also leave permanent facial
scars. He'll have to stay home from
daycare or school for at least a week and
sometimes two. And if you work,
you'll have to stay home, too, and care for
him.
2) Chicken pox can be serious and
even deadly. Each year one in a thousand
infected U.S. children ends up in
the hospital with complications such as
pneumonia or encephalitis (a brain
infection), and 50 of them die. Researchers
think the virus may also make your
child more susceptible to skin infections
caused by "flesh-eating" bacteria.
3) The vaccine will protect your
child from the worst of this illness. About 20
percent of vaccinated children may
still get chicken pox, but will have only very
mild symptoms. (That usually means
fewer than 50 blisters, no fever, and less
sick time.)
4) The vaccine can protect your
child from a related disease called shingles.
About 20 percent of adults who had
chicken pox earlier in life get this rash with
extremely painful and disfiguring
blisters on the face, chest, or abdomen. The
blisters can be inches across.
Shingles appear when the chicken pox virus,
which lives forever in the central
nervous system, "reawakens" and becomes
active again. Adults who have been
vaccinated against chicken pox may still
get shingles but will have a much
less severe case than those who had the
virus itself. Offit says this is
the primary reason he decided to have his own
children vaccinated.
For all these reasons, both the
American Academy of Pediatrics and the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention have put the chicken pox vaccine
on the schedule of recommended
immunizations, and more and more schools
and daycare centers are requiring
it.
