Chicken Pox Vaccine

How many people here got their child vaccinated with the Chicken Pox
vaccine?


DS is 2.5 and we haven't gotten it done yet. I consider myself somewhat on
the fence regarding vaccinations. I agree with the theory of vaccinating,
but I think things have gotten a little carried away, and it bugs me a
little to pile on the shots into such little bodies . . . I really don't
mind if he picks up chicken pox at some point. It's required here for kids
to have the chicken pox vaccine in order to start kindergarten, so I figure
we'll get it done then.

I'm the same way with DD (5 mos). I'm following the AAP recommendations for
the most critical vaccines that are pertinant to her health, age, and our
location, but we're holding out on some of the less pertinant ones until
she's a little older (things like Hepatitis and Polio). I plan on fully
vaccinating her, but I don't see the point in piling them up on a months-old
baby.
