Chickenpox Vaccination for Zo Ee
We decided to let Zo Ee has the optional Chickenpox vaccination some time ago and today been the appointment date. Daddy and mummy were worried as how little Zo Ee will respond and react to the injection though she hasn’t cry for all her past vaccinations. But will there be a scene in the polyclinic today as she is older and the injection will be on her arm now? We were really worried on how she will cope with the pain.

Surprisingly, Zo Ee was coping really well; neither struggling nor crying. Just a little tingle and she didn’t even look at the nurse or her injected arm. She was attentively looking at daddy, who was trying to distract her attention with some toys. Good job daddy! and Bravo to Zo Ee! She is indeed a tough and brave baby.
We are so proud of her.
Is it worth to pay S$69.10 for one jab?

At a glance:
The chickenpox vaccine is a live attenuated vaccine where the live, disease-producing virus was modified, or weakened, in the laboratory to produce an organism that can grow and produce immunity in the body without causing illness.
Seventy-nine percent (79%) of children between age 12 months and 12 years develop immunity to the disease after one dose of vaccine.
Although some vaccinated children (about 2%) will still get chickenpox, they generally will have a much milder form of the disease, with fewer blisters (typically fewer than 50), lower fever, and a more rapid recovery.
Because this vaccine is made from a live, but weakened, virus, about 1% of recipients develop a mild form of the disease, consisting of a limited rash, most often with only 5-6 blisters. Usually there is no fever. These persons are then safe from the more serious, naturally occurring form of the virus.
