    Complications from chickenpox can occur, but they are not as common in otherwise healthy people who get the disease.

    People who may have more severe symptoms and may be at high risk for complications include

    Infants
    Adolescents
    Adults
    Pregnant women
    People with weakened immune systems because of illness or medications; for example,
    People with HIV/AIDS or cancer
    Patients who have had transplants, and
    People on chemotherapy, immunosuppressive medications, or long-term use of steroids.
    For more information, see People at High Risk for Varicella Complications.

    Serious complications from chickenpox include

    dehydration
    pneumonia
    bleeding problems
    infection or inflammation of the brain (encephalitis, cerebellar ataxia)
    bacterial infections of the skin and soft tissues in children including Group A streptococcal infections
    blood stream infections (sepsis)
    toxic shock syndrome
    bone infections
    joint infections
    Some people with serious complications from chickenpox can become so sick that they need to be hospitalized. Chickenpox can also cause death.

    Some deaths from chickenpox continue to occur in healthy, unvaccinated children and adults. Many of the healthy adults who died from chickenpox contracted the disease from their unvaccinated children.

    " I thought about the whole shingles thing, but decided the risk of getting chicken pox as an adult was high enough that I wanted the protection."
    you seem to be implying that getting the vaccine mean getting shingles. It does not. If yu never had it, you wn't gte shingles.
    Good on you for getting vaccinated.

    "To who?"
    TO everyone. unvaccinated people are a vector for mutation, the also are a carrier which impacts people who can't vaccinate or the the vaccination was effective for. Seriosuly, this is well covered you sound like a shill for Big Stupid.

    ". That is were the vaccinations usually happen, right?"
    no. The can happen at a Dr. office, a clinic, workplace, schools. Some are given at hospitals, but most are not.
    And even if they where, the risk/reward still shows they should get vaccinated.

    "They recently found a couple cases of MERS in the USA."
    They sent them home with proper precautions. As of this morning, it looks like it might not be MERS. They don't need to be isolated.

    If you don't get vaccinated, you are shoving your choice don't everyone throat. You are the cause for peoples death, literally.

    It's like saying peeing in a pool is a choice, if you think people should get out and pee, then you and you family should, but don't force me to not pee in the pool.

    " don't force your choices"

    It's not false security, it's actual health security. This is proven.
    What is wrong with you?

    Yes, some ass hats sued a Hep. program to try and get genetic informaiton. It's appalling. It's wrong. IT makes me angry fr anumber of reasons. It is not a reason not to get vaccinated.
