Eh ada jugak "species" yang sama dengan hubby akak ek...

MMR tu untuk mumps, measles dan rubella (beguk, cacar dan rubella (german measles)).  Kena ambik 2 kali, waktu 12 bulan dan 4 tahun.

Untuk chicken pox (cacar air) ada immunisasi berasingan (varicella).  Tak termsuk dalam imunisasi wajib bagi bb tapi optional.  Eloklah kalau ambik.  Chicken pox ni yang bahayanya kalau melarat sampai ke otak dan boleh menyebabkan meningitis.

Kalau ikut rekod anak2  akak yang lahir kat Malaysia, bila-bila lepas umur 1 tahun.
Ikut rekod anak yang lahir kat oversea, waktu umur 18 bulan.
Kalau ikut apa yang akak baca antara 12 bulan-18 bulan

Adults pun boleh ambik gak chicken pox vaccine - dalam dua dose.

Akak tak pernah ambik chicken pox jap ni, masa kecik-kecik dulu dah kena dah demam campak.

When did the chickenpox vaccine become available?
The chickenpox (varicella) vaccine was licensed for use in Japan and Korea in 1988 and in the United States in 1995.

What kind of vaccine is it?
The chickenpox vaccine is a live attenuated vaccine. This means the live, disease-producing virus was modified, or weakened, in the laboratory to produce an organism that can grow and produce immunity in the body without causing illness.

How is this vaccine administered?
The chickenpox vaccine is a shot, given in the fatty tissue.

Who should get this vaccine?
Chickenpox vaccine is recommended for the following

All infants (one dose given between 12-18 months of age)
All older children and adolescents who have never had chickenpox (one dose until age 13: for children and adults 13 or older, two doses of vaccine are needed, given 4-8 weeks apart)
Adults who have never had chickenpox, especially if they are at high risk of exposure to the virus. This includes teachers of young children, day care workers, parents of young children, college students, international travelers, and others.
Non-immune adults who live or work with persons at high risk for serious complications from chickenpox. This includes healthcare workers and family contacts of persons with compromised immune systems.
Who recommends this vaccine?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) have all recommended that children receive this vaccine.

Should adults be tested before vaccination to see if they are already immune to chickenpox?
Currently, 90% of adults are immune to chickenpox because of having had the disease as children. If you have a history of chickenpox disease, you don't need testing or vaccination, unless you are working in an environment where your immune status must be documented (such as a hospital). If you are uncertain of your medical history, blood testing can be done to see if immunization is appropriate.

How safe is this vaccine?
Tens of millions of doses of varicella vaccine have been given in the United States, and studies continue to show that the vaccine is safe. Serious side effects are very rare.

What side effects have been reported with this vaccine?
Possible side effects are generally mild and include redness, stiffness, and soreness at the injection site; such localized reactions occur in about 20% of children immunized. A small percentage of persons develop a mild rash, usually around the spot where the shot was given.

How effective is this vaccine?
More than 95% of children between 12 months and 12 years of age develop immunity to the disease after one dose of vaccine. For older children and adults, 78%-82% develop immunity after one dose and 99% develop immunity after the recommended two doses.

Although some vaccinated children (about 2%) will still get chickenpox, they generally will have a much milder form of the disease, with fewer blisters, lower fever, and a more rapid recovery.

Overall, about 8 to 9 out of every 10 people who are vaccinated are completely protected from chickenpox. The vaccine almost always prevents against severe disease. Getting chickenpox vaccine is much safer than getting chickenpox disease.

Isn't it better for a child to get chickenpox naturally?
Some parents purposely seek to get their children infected with varicella virus, even promoting "chickenpox parties" for this purpose. The belief is that it's better to be infected when young, a time when the infection is ordinarily less severe. Some parents also believe that something "natural" (the disease) is better than something "artificial" (the vaccine), or that immunity derived from the disease will be more permanent than that from the vaccine.

However, when a safe vaccine is available, parents need to weigh the supposed benefits of infection against its potential risks, including severe disease with complications such as infection with flesh-eating bacteria. No one can predict which child will develop a life-threatening case of chickenpox; in fact, most serious cases occur in previously healthy children.

In addition, in a recent study, 7 out of 10 children said given the choice, they'd rather have the shot than have the natural disease.

Can the vaccine protect you if you've already been exposed to chickenpox?
Yes, it is 70-100% effective if given within 72 hours of exposure.

Who should NOT receive the chickenpox vaccine?
Persons with weakened immune systems and those with life-threatening allergies to gelatin or the antibiotic neomycin should not receive this vaccine.

Pregnant women should not receive this vaccine, as the possible effects on fetal development are unknown. However, non-pregnant women of childbearing age who have never had the disease may be immunized against chickenpox to avoid contracting the disease while pregnant.

Can the vaccine cause chickenpox?
Because this vaccine is made from a live, but weakened, virus, about 1% of recipients develop a mild form of the disease, consisting of a limited rash, most often with only 5-6 blisters. Usually there is no fever. These persons are then safe from the more serious, naturally occurring form of the virus.

Can the varicella vaccine virus be transmitted (caught) from a person who was vaccinated? Yes; however, transmission of the varicella vaccine virus is extremely rare. It has only been documented in healthy persons on three occasions out of the 21 million doses of vaccine distributed. All three cases resulted in mild disease without complications.

Can the vaccine cause herpes zoster (shingles)?
Yes, this is possible but uncommon. The risk from getting shingles from the naturally occurring virus is 4-5 times higher than from the vaccine virus. Fewer than 50 cases of shingles in vaccinated persons have been reported. All of these cases have been mild and without complications.

Can boosting of immunity through vaccination prevent herpes zoster? A recently completed study showed that varicella vaccine can reduce the risk of shingles and the pain of a case of shingles in people 60-80 years of age. However, the vaccine used in this study was not the same vaccine that is given to children. The zoster vaccine had a much higher concentration of varicella vaccine virus. Regular Varivax should not be used to prevent zoster. The special "zoster vaccine" may be available in 2006.

How long does the vaccine protect someone against chickenpox? Will a booster vaccination be needed? The length of protection/immunity from any new vaccine is never known when it is first introduced. However, available information collected from persons vaccinated in Japan and in the United States show that protection has lasted for as long as the vaccinated persons have been followed (25 years in Japan and more than 10 years in the U.S.). Follow up studies to determine how long protection will last and to evaluate the need and timing for booster vaccination, are ongoing. If it is determined in the future that a booster dose is necessary, your healthcare provider will inform you. Currently, no booster dose is recommended.

Have cases of chickenpox declined in the United States since chickenpox vaccine became available?
Yes, cases have declined dramatically. Since 1995, CDC, in collaboration with Los Angeles County, Texas, and Philadelphia health departments, has been monitoring chickenpox cases in these 3 areas in the United States. As use of the vaccine has increased, chickenpox cases and complications of chickenpox have declined by more than 80% compared to 1995.

Eh? That's wierd...aku punya immunisation card zmn kekecik dulu masa kat states ada tulis chicken pox. Rubella, MMR...wah...aku dulu depa punya experiment ke if it wasn't available during my time :hmm:

Syndora

Alamakkkkkkk...anak aku dah 2 hari demam, jenis demam on - off..sekali baru ni aku belek kaki dia dah ada dah tompok2 chicken pox ni, yg keluar hanya kat tapak kaki dgn dalam mulut, tang bodypart lain belum lagi, tapi memang tak nampak teruk la, anak aku leh main lompat2 lagi..

Oh..anak aku pun dah suntik MMr ni masa umur setahun..

sebaik2 nya pergi lah cucuk vaksin tu...
i ni dah tua baru kene.. last month i kene chicken-pox.. at the same time Dr kata i pregnant 5 week..
so, ni bahaya untuk baby sebab ia serang saraf.. dikuatiri baby ni cacat.. so, dia cadangkan abortion..
kalau i still nak baby tu, i kene tanggung risiko sekiranya baby tu cacat..
so.. lepas bincang ngan suami, i buat abortion (rasa tak adil kat baby tu sebab mak dia yg sakit)..
pun tak tau betul ker apa yg i buat.. rasa bersalah sampai sekarang..
moral of the story.. saper2 yg tak pernah kene chicken-pox tu, baik lah ambik vaksin dia..

Errr syndora...akak pun risaukan penyakit yang sama cam honey cakap.

Kalau chicken pox, selalunya kita akan demam seminggu atau dua minggu sebelum keluar spots. By the time spots dah keluar, temperature dah tak tinggi dan budak-budak pun melasak.

macademia

mac start bagi anak2 chicken pox vaccine pun sebab masa mac 8 months pregnant, pergi kenduri, ada one mother ni bengap betul dia bawak 2 org anaknya yg tgh full blown kena chicken pox....

LEpas tu, mac duduk jauh2 tapi mother ni nak borak dgn mac and ofcourse anakdia duduk dgn dia. I was worried bec anak mac yg berumur 5 and 3 was with me.

Risau pikir what would happen if mac kena chicken pox 2nd time? (Chicken pox akan effect baby dalam kandungan if the foetus is in the 1st and 3rd trimester)

Atau if kena anak2 mac? (if anak2 mac kena, mesti kena time mac nak deliver, macamana nak jaga newborn baby and anak2 berchicken pox, and takkan mac nak expose newborn baby  kat chicken pox.... tapi how if we are living in one house?)

Alhamdullillah nothing happened, but TENSION mac sebulan menunggu tanda2 if ada chicken pox.... memandangkan mac tau org yg takda otak ni selalu berada di mana2, I need to make sure that anak2 semua dapat chicken pox injection after that......

FYI, if dalam 3rd trimester ibu mengandung kena chicken pox, the baby ada possibility keluar as a full blown chicken pox baby......

Hairan dgn sikap org melayu dgn tidak apa attitudenya.....

macademia

kebetulan anak mac baru balik dari 1 week school trip. Room matenya kena chicken pox.... and in the end semua room matenya (6 org) menjangkit kena chicken pox..... alhamdullillah anak mac sorang je tak kena....... Thank God for the vaccine..... heheh
