Chickenpox vaccine

These are fairly new and still optional, you need to pay extra mind. Charlie had his when we went for his 13 month vaccination visit last week. He has been fine with all of his other vaccinations, barely any side effects at all other than a little sleepy, but this time he really seemed to suffer. Maybe it is just because he is that bit older now and more aware but after having the vaccine in the morning, by the late afternoon he was very upset and just crying which is very unlike him. He wouldn't even take his bottle at bedtime or any medicine. He didn't have a temperature but was obviously feeling very sorry for himself. The vaccine cost about 40 euros.
