alt Hacker NewsI am part of the tail end of purposely exposing kids to chicken pox, I got them in 1989 and the vaccine was released a few years later. I wish the vaccine would’ve been available, I know multiple people that have experienced shingles in their eyes. Crossing my fingers until I make it to 50 and can get my shingles vaccine.
I was born in '85 and got chickenpox at 7. My parents aren't quiet antivaxxers but they also have a sort of "you don't need all vaccines" attitude (so no way I was getting the new chickenpox vaccine).
I've recently had shingles and, let me tell you, it sucks ass. I thought my liver was going to explode.
I'll be getting the shingles vaccine as soon as possible.
