So I want to make sure I get this right before I go punch someone in the junk.
Theres a chicken pox vaccine. Chicken pox as a child can lead to Shingles as an adult or if the adult never had chicken pox as a child it goes right to Shingles. Shingles is very painful and has some other consequences one of which is it can lead to blindness in older adults.
The reason I ask is a friend of my parents is now blind in one eye as a result of shingles. Turns out his daughter in law didnt get her two kids vaccinated for chicken pox...but instead made sure they got the chicken pox by taking them over to play with kids she knew had the chicken pox. And then sent the kids to stay with the grandparents while they, the son and daughter in law, went away on a vacation. And then Grandpa gets the shingles...
I just...ugh...why are people so stupid!
