i'd have quoted this from your link, lsyc, but its a pdf.....

to summarize....the vaccine is typically administered at 12-18 mos, and should last 20 yrs.

of the varicella incedences, 5% are people over 20yrs old....however, 55% of ALL varicella deaths occur in this age group.

put that together with the fact that if you contract varicella, you are then immune forever, and you should see that that particular vaccination, is in fact harmful. you just get it again later in life when it is much more dangerous.
