Is the chicken pox vaccine necessary?

I am a business success consultant offering my suggestions based on my own true life experiences and observations that I come across. Some times I experiment some business principles and bring them to light as young entrepreneurs may wish to adopt them wishfully.
I happened to experience a period of mental agony with regard to this vulnerable chicken pox. My life experience may give a sort of guidance to the potential sufferers in course of time.

CHICKEN POX-TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!

My elder son working in Hewlett Packard, Bangalore in India was complaining about body heat and boils that appeared on his body skin and head. After some time, he telephoned to me that his doctor has asked him to observe and find out if it is a chicken pox. The reddish boils started appearing on his body through out and he experienced the dreadful disease of chicken pox.

His better half and my younger son attended him with all sacred procedures with customary way. He slept on a mat with neem leaves spread over and a white cloth covering his body. His diet was only cooked rice mixed with fat less butter milk adding no or low salt. The disease is allowed to grow and get subsidized naturally. It took about 21 days altogether for him to resume his work in his office. It is a very bad experience to everybody at home!

SPREADS ONE TO ONE AND ALL!

My younger son who visited us in Coimbatore for a short stay complained about the itching on the skin and appearance of boils. Yes. Your guess is correct. He had contacted the chicken pox from his brother and he too happened to pass a period of suffering to complete the cycle. He was attended by his mother, my better half. He could leave his home town only after four weeks to carry on his work in his office at Bangalore.

HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS-AIR BORNE!

In the meantime, my wife started showing the symptoms of chicken pox on her body. She simply accepted it as if it is the play of the goddess, Shakthi. Again the three weeks of horrible experience to all in the home. My servant maid attended her! Occasionally I too should attend her!

Now, I want to safe guard me and also the old lady who attends my wife. I browsed the Internet to find out the true nature of the disease and its scientific approach to combat it. I could get some solid information about the chicken pox vaccine and suggestions to escape from the disease.

I decided to meet the local general physician to know about the ways to get protective measure to escape from the disease. He advised me not to have this chicken pox vaccine at this moment as you are already amidst the people who are suffering. It is also a costly affair.

MEDICINES SAVED ME AND THE ATTENDANT!

He suggested some best antibiotic medicines of higher strength for taking 4 times a day for 5 days altogether 20 tablets per adult person. The tablets are: Aciclovir 800 mg or Herperax 800 mg or Ocivir 800 mg (with Dolo 650 mg 3 times a day for fever if any).
My servant maid and I took the medicines for 5 days, attending the patient simultaneously. The scientific way of approach to this dreadful disease chicken pox helped us to escape from the terrible 21 days of sufferings and mental agony.

VACCINATE WELL IN ADVANCE!

So, I could tell based on my experience that we need to consult a doctor and take one of the above said medicines to combat he disease. The chicken pox vaccine should be administered well in advance and not when you are one among the potential person-would be soon a chickenpox patient!
