Q : My 9-yr-old daughter has never had chicken pox but did receive the vaccine. She now has a raging case of shingles. I have read on several sites that it is believed that if you receive the vaccine that you are not susceptible to shingles. Apparently this is not so as the ER Dr. said that there have been several cases of shingles in children who had been vaccinated.

Answer : Hello Stephanie. Doctors generally consider the chicken pox vaccine to be safe. However you can find more information on this subject on the website http://www.mercola.com/2002/may/29/

It carries some detailed study of the relationship between chicken pox vaccine and shingles.
