Never had chicken pox?

Discussion in 'Physical & Sexual Health' started by PrinceFabulous, Jun 16, 2014.

  1. So...I'm fourteen and never had chicken pox. All of my peers have already had it, so I have chance to go out and get it now. I hear it's bad if you get it as an adult. Uh, what should I do?

    I never had it, but that's because I was vaccinated at a very young age. If you haven't gotten the vaccine, I think you should.

    If at all possible you should get the vaccine, not the actual illness.
     
  4. Thanks. I just asked my Mother if i got the vaccine... She told me I did. Apparently that wasn't important information xD. Thanks for the answer.

    get the vaccination, getting chicken pox once doesnt give you an immunity to it or anything idk why people started thinking that but it is awful as an adult.

    I've never had it since I was vaccinated when I was a kid. I am not sure but, I think if you've ever had Chickenpox, that the virus will stay inside of you and later develop into the Shingles virus.
     
  8. i got it when i was 20. it was awful.
    i felt like i was dying had to go to hospital for it and everything, get it young if you can!
