Chickenpox Vaccine

Your kids may not like this, but the Canadian Pediatric Society say when it comes to warding off the chickenpox, it seems two needles are better than one.


The doctors' group says there's evidence that without a second
dose of the chickenpox vaccine, some children could get the illness
as adults.

The society recommends that youngsters get the first dose between
12 and 18 months of age, and the second dose between the ages of
four and six.
