Warnings

  • Do not have your children attend "measles" or "chicken pox" parties, where the intention is to intentionally get these viruses, in order to get those diseases out of the way. It is still possible for children to die from those kinds of diseases, plus, it is although the child may develop an immunity to those particular diseases, he/she can get a later disease known as "Shingles." It is best to get an immunity shot for your child, and avoid those diseases altogether.
