Now that my dc is going to school, what kind of immunizations should we (parents) have? Dh has some health issues, had several surgeries last year. Chicken pox? Fifth disease (if there is immunization)? Thanks [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

are you not vaccinated at all? you should talk to your doc about it. definitely chicken pox if you haven't had it. I don't think there is a vax for fifth disease. [ Reply | More ]

DC & I get the flu shot every year. I also got a varicella (chicken pox) vaccine because a test showed I didn't have immunities to it. You are probably overdue for a tetanus booster (because most people are). But because of your DH, the flu shot is most important for everyone in your family. Also, although you probably do it already, there are plenty of studies showing hand washing + hand sanitizer are critical for reducing disease spread. [ Reply | More ]

You should be vaccinated for most things although some things do require an adult booster. I travel a lot and had to get a booster for MMR in my late 20s and a bunch of other vaccines which are probably irrelevant here (yellow fever, hepatitis C etc.). I also had to verify that I had the chicken pox through a titre. [ Reply | More ]
