Some thoughts that come to mind:  does anyone think that if a child has varicella before age one, we should do a titer or vaccinate anyway?
Just wondering.					-Diane, CNP

My child had varicella twice, once at 9 months and once at 2 years, both
times while I was in residency and money was tight.  (Incidentally, it is not
unusual for a child to have a second attack when the first came prior to
their first birthday.)
