kiah dah  bawa  2 org anak kiah utk jab vaccine chickenpox ini  4 atau 5 tahun sudah masa umur depa 2 / 3 tahun macam tu... seingat kiah doktor tak ada kata pon pasa side effects... cuma mungkin ada rashes sikit lepas jab.. tapi anak2 kiah ok aje.. tak der demam takde rashes,,, vaccine ni mmg efektif nak halang anak2 dari kena chickenpox... kebykan org yg dah dapat vaksin ni takkan kena chickenpox..

tp. kiah tak paham soalan honeypasal vaksin ni will work directly or kena tunggu beb. sebabnya vaccine ni kita beri pada anak2 yg belum pernah kena chickenpox...  so once dah dpt vaksin maknanya anak2 tu dah ada perlindungan dari penyakit ini.

Chickenpox is caused by the varicella zoster virus and it is a common childhood illness that usually only causes mild symptoms, but can lead to serious complications, especially in young children and adults. About 12,000 people each year are hospitalized for complications of having chickenpox and about 100 of these people die.

Your child should receive one dose of the chickenpox vaccine (Varivax) after his first birthday. Children over twelve and adults need to receive two doses one month apart.

If you aren't sure if you or your child has had chickenpox in the past, then either the vaccine may be given, or it is also possible to do a blood test to check for immunity.


The chickenpox vaccine is about 85-90% effective in preventing chickenpox in children who are immunized.

The chickenpox vaccine is about 85-90% effective in preventing chickenpox in children who are immunized and it is 100% effective at preventing a moderate or severe case of chickenpox. So, while it is still possible that your child will get chickenpox after getting the vaccine, it is usually a very mild case, with a lower fever, less blisters and a quicker recovery than a child who wasn't immunized.

It isn't yet known how long immunity will last in children who have received the chickenpox vaccine, but current studies show immunity lasts at least twenty years, since people who have received the vaccine twenty years ago are still immune. It is not currently believed that children will need a booster dose of the chickenpox vaccine, but studies are continuing to be done.


postexposure immunization can prevent your child from getting chickenpox

If given soon after an exposure (and preferably with 72 hours) to someone with chickenpox, the chickenpox vaccine may help to prevent your child (if he hasn't received the vaccine yet) from developing chickenpox.

Children who have had a life-threatening allergic reaction to gelatin, the antibiotic neomycin or to a previous dose of chickenpox vaccine should not receive this vaccine. You should also not receive chickenpox vaccine if you are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant in the month after receiving the vaccine.

Mild problems or side effects that can occur after receiving the chickenpox vaccine include soreness or swelling where the shot was given, fever, and mild rash, which can occur for up to a month after the vaccine was given. It is rarely possible for other people to catch a mild chickenpox infection from being in contact with this rash. Moderate problems can include febrile seizures. It is very rare for someone to have a serious problem after receiving the chickenpox vaccine, but side effects can also include acute cerebellar ataxia, pneumonia, and possibly (but unproven) severe brain reactions or a low blood and/or platelet count.

biler bc yg nih rs takut lak....:stp:

After having chickenpox, the chickenpox virus stays dormant in your body. In some children, it can become reactivated and cause shingles. The main symptoms of shingles is a rash on one side of the body that begins as a cluster of red bumps. These bumps then change into small blisters or vesicles that soon crust over. Your child may also feel itchy, but will otherwise be well. The rash usually continues to develop for a few days and then completely crust over and go away in about seven to ten days without treatment.

You can also get shingles after receiving the chickenpox vaccine, but it appears to be much less common than occurs in children that have a natural chickenpox infection. So decreasing your child's chance of getting shingles may be another good reason for getting the chickenpox vaccine.

Pada ibubapa yang tak mengetahui, pls take note that there is an injection for chicken pox. You do not have to expose your child to a full blown chicken pox.

Should the child still get chicken even after getting the injection, the fever is mild and not as serious a a normal chicken pox.

The last time I heard, it costs RM100 per injection.... that was a few years back..

I've heard about this before, tapi tak tau nak ambik kat mana. Mana2 klinik ada ker?

Mana-mana klinik paediatrician ada. I had it when my father was studying in the US 26 years ago. Time tu kira akulah first batch yg amik MMR, Chicken Pox and segala apa yg anak-anak kita kena amik sekaranglah. (Kecuali hepaitis...time tu blom ada vaccine).

Miraculously, sehingga ke hari ni aku tak pernah dpt mumps, measles & chicken pox. Those vaccines pulak kat negara kita relaitvely new. Memang you all should ensure your anak amik.

Anak-anak akak semua cucuk chicken pox dan semua dah kena chicken pox.  Tapi yup...very mild one.  Kalau zaman kita dulu the trick was to make all the spots tu keluar dengan minum air kelapa tapi sekarang ni kalau dah cucuk memang tak akan keluar semua sampai penuh satu muka dan badan.  Sikit2 je.  Seminggu dah clear dah.  
Alhamdulillah, oklah cam tu, kalau tidak suffer jugak budak2 sebab gatal.  

Satu petua untuk cepat hilangkan spots, spray diluted peppermint oil seluruh badan especially bahagian yang ada spots.  InsyAllah cepat hilang.

lyly..... lain....MMR is different.... ramai yg ingat its the same but its not.

Mac teringat nak bukak this topic when I realized that a lot of my doter's classmates takda ambik chicken pox injection..... so one by one mereka down with chicken pox.....

Kak Fie.... in your case your anak kena mild chicken pox ye? I was hoping that with the injection, anak2 wont get it at all...... yela % dapat tu kurangla kan.... but tak bestla dgr all your children dapat.....

yup..they can still get chicken pox even with the jap.  Its not a total shield.  Ada sesetengah budak akan dapat chicken pox right after the jap,  tapi sikit jelah.  Its some kind of body reaction towards the jap.  It happened to my daughter before...sikit sangat spotnya..it went away in 2/3 days.

Benda ni semua kuasa Allah jugaklah, kita hanya berusaha dan merancang.  My husband dah veteren dah pun belum pernah kena chicpen pox seumur hidup dia walaupun tak ada jap dan walaupun anak-anak dah kena.  Hmm....miraculous jugak tu.  All his male siblings never had it.
