{COVID-19} Vaccination Injection Interjections VIII - Who cares at this point

[Rhyis.]

Ontario (where Biebs was born) implemented the chickenpox vaccine in 2004 for 1 year olds.

I've had a lot of shots given to me in grade-school, chickenpox ain't one of them.

Damn Canada is fuckin 3rd world lol

[archibaldcrane]

Also, to enrage Archi, Japan was vaccinating for Chickenpox since 81 with the same vaccine.

Can't believe I have to live with shingles risk, they had the cure when I was 1 year old

This is the mandatory immunization list required to attend school in Ontario:

• diphtheria
• tetanus
• pertussis (whooping cough)
• polio
• measles
• mumps
• rubella
• meningococcal disease
• varicella (chickenpox) – required for children born in 2010 or later

Buncha plague moose

like byrthnoth said, we don't produce any vaccines up here at all. we rely on yall and then there's the canadian red tape it needs to go through on top of whatever murican red tape is involved

The current iteration of the shingles vaccine works pretty well and I recommend getting your parents to take it / yourself when you qualify. TBF I don't entirely know why it is recommended after 50. Sure Shingles is more common and more devastating in the olds, but young people under stress get it with some regularity too. One of my cousins had an outbreak when she was 18 or something.

It's recommended after 50 because it's more likely to happen after 50 and it fucking hurts.

[archibaldcrane]

Shingles hurts or the vaccine hurts?

[archibaldcrane]

(I know shingles hurts but that factoid wouldn't make sense to restrict the vax to 50+)

@Kuro That's what I said, but not what I was confused about.

Anyway, my wife's grandmother had a bad shingles outbreak (pain radiating to the face) and it seemed to substantially hasten her descent into senile dementia. She basically never came back from it mentally. Your parents should all get the shots.

Shingles wasnt that bad when I had it. The IV in my arm/hand for 3 days pumping meds twice a day was a lot more painful.

[Outlaw]

I really need to get the shingles vax.

When I was young I had the worse case of chicken pox my pediatrician and my mom had ever seen or heard of. It covered my entire body. There was not a inch of skin that didn't have a spot including my scalp and the bottom of my feet.

Used to a human version too but a BS panic around side effects and anti-vax sentiment killed it in 2002.

There's a new one in phase 3 trials though.

Shingles fucking sucks and I am pissed dr's won't give me the shingles vaccine since I am under 50. I had shingles on the back of my neck wrapping all the way around under my chin. Couldn't sleep couldn't put my head down. It was so painful.

I talked to some ID colleagues and they had suggested at that time that people 35+ should get it.

Suck it bitchhhhhhhh

Throat lozenges I mean.

Also, vitamin D supplements was HUGE for me. Made me feel immensely better, was a good recommendation from a hospital tech I worked with at the time.
