3. Refusing to keep up-to-date with Immunizations is another known Cause of Varicella Zoster.
As a child, parents are required to have immunizations done, so that he or she can enter school. Without getting immunizations, the child will be able to get diseases quicker. Even if immunizations are given, some children have a weak immune system and can still get viruses. As an adult, you need to make sure that your immunizations are up to date.
The only way you can find them is through your primary care physician or the provider who gave you the immunizations as a child. If you can’t find your records, it’s best to have them done all over again. You don’t want to be exposed to diseases that could have been prevented, if you would have just gotten an immunization.
For instance, a TB shot should be given every 10 years. Most immunizations are free at your local health department.
