Almost all wealthier nations in the world provide free chickenpox vaccine to thier children, it is a pity that HK Govt let the parents to decide.
The vaccine is relatively mild, mild fever and flu like symptoms are not uncommon, a few "pox" may come out too.
Recent study shows that if you inject the vaccine after 15 months will have better protection.
Booster is controversial at this point, as the vaccine only been used for <15 years, but future recommendation will come out when more data is available. Keep in touch with your family doctor or this forum.
CF,
As u might notice in another topic, I also raise out the question about this - Chicken pox vaccine. One Bk fd told me that the different between the price of the vaccine is depends on what brand they are using (Vaccine). She said the Brand "Glaxo Smith" is a good choice and will be more expensive.
I will bring my girl to have this injection tonight. It cost $480 and they use "Glaxo Smith".
