The chickepox vaccine doesn't require boosters, though, so they do not.
Nobody knows at this point when boosters will be needed for SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.
Fair enough. But that seems to be the road we are on.
In the end, I don't deny anyone the right to get/take whatever medicine or vaccinations that they want. But vaccinations have potential side effects, no matter how minor or unlikely, there is some level of risk with the vaccination albeit likely a very very small one. I am comfortable that a one time chicken pox vaccination is worth the risk. I am not there yet, given the very low incidence of serious illness with COVID in kids, to say that the risk of the virus outweighs the risk of the EUA vaccination at this point. Just that simple for me.
