I have been vaccinated like crazy and it was all mandated. &nbsp;It&#39;s rather frightening to me knowing what I do now about these vaccinations. &nbsp;</p> <img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=181479" width="1" height="1">http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2001/02/14/chicken-pox-vaccine-part-two.aspx#39685Thu, 23 Oct 2008 04:31:00 GMT24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:39685LG725<p>So, in 2006, the health dept. was able to convince me that the varicella vaccine should be given to my children. &nbsp;It was my understandng that it would be a one time shot. &nbsp;However, the pediatrician told me today that my kids need another shot!! &nbsp;ugh. At this point, am I committed to continue with the shots or can I just stop?? &nbsp;What is safest for my kids??? </p> <img src="http://articles.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=39685" width="1" height="1">
