Chickenpox and Shingles Vaccines

Before the development of chickenpox vaccine, chickenpox was considered to be an inconsequential disease. According to promotions by the manufacturer, the most pressing need for this vaccine is to eliminate loss of wages while someone stays home with the child during the four days to two weeks the illness lasts or is contagious.
