No vaccine is unnecessary, don’t lose your chance to get vaccinated while you still have it

We save money, save money for our children to be vaccinated˳ In our opinion, the service injection should have less post-injection reactions, especially severe reactions˳

When we get to the injection room, we follow the instructions˳ The doctor examined and prescribed the injection that day˳ After that, the doctor also recommended other vaccines according to the age of the child for the couple˳

I listened attentively, but in my heart, I thought: we only vaccinate our children for necessary diseases (dangerous diseases, high rates of complications and death), and non-dangerous diseases will not be injected˳ The doctor kept drawing to inject more˳

The chickenpox vaccine is one of those vaccines that I don’t think is necessary˳

In mid-May-2023, a colleague’s 3-year-old daughter contracted chickenpox˳ She said that in her preschool class, some of her friends also had the disease˳ She cut off her leave, asked the agency to take a break from work to stay at home to take care of her children˳

Almost 2 weeks later, she went back to work˳ But unlike before, she always wears a mask˳ I curiously asked her, why don’t you open a mask to breathe in the hot summer˳ She said she was afraid, the last time she got chickenpox from her child, so her face is now full of bruises, and there are still some scars˳

Then she confided, before taking her children for vaccination, she was also advised by doctors to vaccinate against chickenpox, but the cost was nearly one million, so she regretted the money, thinking it was simple, so she did not give the injection˳ grandchildren˳

Who would have thought, when he went to school, he got infected from his friends˳ I itch, scratch a lot, so I get superinfected and leave scars˳ These scars will follow you for the rest of your life˳ Knowing that, she gave me early vaccination to prevent disease˳ Now the “money lost disability”˳ I hummed, then thought of my son˳

That afternoon, during recess, I used to surf the internet to watch the news˳ I access the newspaper Youth, One news caught my eye: “A 32-year-old man died of chickenpox”˳ I access the link, carefully read the article˳

It turns out that chickenpox is also very dangerous: “The disease can cause dangerous complications such as meningitis, hemorrhage, sepsis, infection of blisters, cellulitis, hepatitis… cause death if the patient is not treated promptly˳

In particular, pregnant women who are unfortunately infected will be very easy to transmit to the fetus through the placenta˳

The number of people infected with chickenpox in Vietnam ranges from 31,000 to 39,000 people per year˳ According to statistics of the World Health Organization, every year 4˳2 million cases of severe complications of chickenpox lead to 4,200 deaths˳ Yet I was subjective, thinking it was just a simple disease˳

I looked online for more information about chickenpox˳ I access the VNVC website, where I can easily find relevant information about chickenpox and the vaccine˳

After reading it, I immediately called my wife and made an appointment with her to arrange the earliest vaccination schedule for the whole family˳

No vaccine is unnecessary, don’t lose your chance to get vaccinated while you still have it˳

Why is my mother? ‘nice’ Shots?

I remember when I was 5 or 6 nearly 60 years ago, my mother was the one who took care of the health of the children, and later, the vaccination for the children˳
