LO is getting her varicella on Friday at her 12 month appt. :T I'm wondering if I should wait until she's a little older ~14-15 months?
We'll probably just get all of her scheduled vaccines on Friday, but was just curious.

What is that vaccine for? Just curious.
Did you end up getting it or decide to wait?
-
@mediagirl: chicken pox! And we ended up getting it
-
DD got it at 18 months and then will get another one around 5 (I think)
-
I vaccinated on time for all vaccines. I've seen too many kids with complications of varicella (chicken pox) to take any chances.

@MrsJacks-what is the recommended age for varicella? I wanted it done at 12M because there had been 2 cases in DD's room at daycare but my pedi said that we needed to wait until 18m so we did. I was 34 when I was vaccinated for it (never had it as a child).

@purrpletulips: 12 months is the correct age. http://www.immunize.org/cdc/schedules/
