Attention anybody who hasn't gotten it: there is a Chicken Pox Vaccine out there. I was fortunate enough to be part of an early test group as a child, (checked whether the immunity was lifetime or 10-year. It's lifetime) and have never had it, nor will I ever have either it or Shingles. Get the vaccine now! NOW!!!!

I thought they didn't vaccinate for it after age 13?
