Yale researchers find double doses of chicken pox vaccine most effective-Hannah Moerk

Summary:
Chicken pox is a common illness in children, but can also occur in adults. When vaccinating children against chicken pox researchers at Yale School of Medicine been recently been doing further research. They have found, two doses are better than one. In fact, the odds of developing chicken pox were 95 percent lower in children who had received two doses of the vaccine compared with those who had received only one dose. In 1995, the doctors started recommending one dose especially in children, but now should they start recommending two?

Opinion:
How does the double dose affect the body? Although it is being more preventative to chicken pox, is it harming it too? Researchers at Yale are saying that the vaccine isn't doing any other harm, and that basically a double dose is just making the vaccine stronger. When one dose was recommended the number of cases went down, and now with two they say they it should continue to decrease. Hopefully after a few more studies to prove and make sure the vaccine isn't harmful, doctors will start giving double the of vaccine, and the number of people with chicken pox will go down even more!
