re: #2 Justanotherhuman
Had chicken pox when I was 17. It was awful, though I was able to avoid scratching/itching as much as possible. If there was a vaccine, I would have demanded it. Now, there’s a vaccine, and if you can prevent it, damn straight you should get it.
And I’ll be risking shingles down the line too. Not looking forward to that (though I will be able to get a vaccine for that now too).
