You CAN only get it once, but it's still a good idea to get the shot because it will supposedly keep you from getting Shingles later on, which is like Chicken Pox but localized and worse, plus Chicken Pox is a combo vaccine. Even if you've had the big one, there's probably something you haven't had.
super cute concept. <3
Oh, yes. I know all about the Shingles. My younger sibling had them a couple years back. I'd never heard it would prevent you from getting Shingles, though, to be honest.

I might be making that part up. I'm not sure. But I'm pretty sure it's a combo vaccine that will keep you from getting other things.

And I don't know? XD I can't go to school until January 22nd because of enrollment issues. T I also can't go until I get the Chicken Pox vaccination (even though I had the Chicken Pox sixteen years ago?).


Yiikes, that's kinda odd that it's mandatory for you to get the pox vaccination. I see chicken pox and the flu as signs of strength, it's just one of those tests of endurance.
Nothing I can't look up. xD The internet is almighty, even if it's pumped full of lies at the same time. Would feel better at least knowing 'what's in it for me?'.

They require vaccinations for school mostly because you're in a setting where things are easily transmitted. You don't want to have an epidemic on your hands.

Most schools require vaccinations against the more common major diseases - whooping cough, chicken pox, mumps, measles, tetanus, etc, and colleges either require or recommend meningitis vaccines because that's deadly and easy to catch and spread in a dorm environment.

SO IT IS A MYTH.

The vaccine only works for five years or so. I had to get a booster last year.

(Never ever opt to do your chicken pox, meningitis, whooping cough, tetanus, and HPV boosters all on the same day. You will get sicker than hell.)

HOLY CRAP. Didn't the doctor or nurse or whoever know the risks of doing such a thing, o__O?!
