Babies who don't get chickenpox vaccine still benefit, study says


This article talks about how the average number of babies getting the chickenpox vaccine has decreased over the years. Studies still show that babies who don’t receive the vaccine still benefit though because when people who are recommended to get the shot are old enough and receive the vaccine, we are decreasing the amount of the disease that’s going around. Therefore, since the disease is going around less, there is a lower chance for the people, specifically babies, to get chickenpox sometime in their lives.
