Does the chickenpox vaccine provide lifelong immunity?

Vaccination of children is an essential step in the process of their growth, so there are some vaccines that we cannot skip. It is recommended that as parents you should know which vaccines your children should get. We must vaccinate our children against chickenpox because it is a common skin disease and is contagious. Now let us learn about the chickenpox vaccine and the vaccines that need to be given to children.

Chickenpox: It is caused by a highly contagious virus. Currently, it is a Class II vaccine that parents can receive voluntarily and pay for. Varicella is the disease with the most vaccine breakthrough cases (i.e. people still get chickenpox after getting the vaccine). You can fight. You don't have to get the vaccination! If you don't, it won't matter if the child grows up! Just go to the outpatient doctor and spend about 10 yuan to get some medicine to apply on it and it will be fine. You won’t get it again after you’ve had chickenpox. As for herpes zoster, that is scary. It is possible to cause it, but the probability is very small! Early detection and early treatment will not have any sequelae (it is very easy to detect early). If you want to get a shot, just pay the money: domestic ones are 160 per shot, and imported ones are 330 per shot. One shot is given between the ages of one and 13. Your child, you decide!

The first category of vaccines is routine immunization according to age, and all babies must receive them. When entering kindergarten or school, the vaccination status needs to be checked, and babies who have not completed the vaccination must get a booster shot.

1. Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG): BCG is a vaccination used to prevent tuberculosis in children. Vaccination can give children special resistance to tuberculosis.

2. Hepatitis B vaccine (HepB): Hepatitis B vaccine is a special medicine used to prevent hepatitis B. After vaccination, the immune system can be stimulated to produce protective antibodies. These antibodies exist in human body fluids. Once the hepatitis B virus appears, the antibodies will immediately take effect to eliminate it, prevent infection, and will not harm the liver. This will enable the human body to have immunity to prevent hepatitis B, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing hepatitis B infection. Vaccination against hepatitis B is the most effective way to prevent hepatitis B virus infection.

5. DTP preparation: It is a mixture of pertussis vaccine, refined diphtheria toxoid and refined tetanus toxoid, which can prevent pertussis, diphtheria and tetanus at the same time.

6. Japanese encephalitis vaccine: The Japanese encephalitis vaccine is made by infecting hamster kidney cells with the Japanese encephalitis virus. After cultivation, the virus liquid is harvested and freeze-dried to make a live attenuated vaccine for the prevention of Japanese encephalitis.
