A blood test (varicella titer) can indicate whether you are already immune. If not, I'd recommend the shot.

Hmm... Yeah, I should probably look into getting the vaccine because doubtless grad students fall into the "in college" category. Yay, shots. But I suppose that's preferable to languishing in pox-ified agony for weeks and weeks, and then attending my own funeral. Posts: 952 | Registered: Jun 2005

Well, she still has a wee fever and it does spike higher at night. But she's not glassy-eyed sick anymore. My mom talked to a pediatrician co-worker who said there's a three-day fever going around, and if she's not better by Wed., she'll see her at no cost on her lunch break.
I love my mom's friends.
I, on the other hand, was sick enough today that Jeff had to come home at lunchtime for the rest of the day because I was unable to adequately care for a baby.
I got a good nap, though, and hopefully will be better tomorrow.

Aw, kq, feel better. Rest and watch those cartoons you missed out on as a kid. But we're glad to hear princess is doing better. Posts: 8355 | Registered: Apr 2003

kq, that always happens to me too - I take care of the kids until I wind up sick myself and then Wes has to come home and take care of all of us.

I'm sorry that you are not feeling well. If you take a long bath with Abba, drink a lot of juice, take some tylenol and motrin, have a blessing or two, sleep with a washcloth, and seriously stink up the bathroom, you should be feeling much better by tomorrow.
There is something going around like that.

Odds are, even without the shot, you'd be fine. But why take the risk?![[Wink]](wink.gif)
