Does anyone have any recommendation about the chicken pox vaccine?
I understand it is a live virus. My questions include:
1. Will it prevent shingles later in life, or is the vaccine capable of
causing shingles down the road?
2. Is the virus grown in animal cultures, or is it produced using the
more modern cloning techniques. I remember learning in my undergrad
immunology class that the early small pox vaccine was grown in monkeys,
and was later found to contain some unknown virus.
Thanks for your help.
