Why do infants need to be vaccinated for Hep B (sexually transmitted disease) and chicken pox?

Why do infants need to be vaccinated for Hep B (sexually transmitted disease) and chicken pox?....Chicken pox, a NEW vaccine which is only a threat if someone gets it when they are elderly.

Why isn't chicken pox vaccine then manditory for ADULTS to recieve who are nonimmune? Why children?
How many more vaccines will be invented and therefore made law before people start waking up and saying,
"wait a minute, maybe having my child shot 50 times for 69 different diseases and bacterial infections before the age of 3 doesn't seem right"..... especially if the rest of the adult populous is nonimmune and doesn't have to be vaccinated....
AND knowing all vaccines supposed immunity effectiveness only last about 6 to 10 years.

Hep b can be spread other ways because it is a blood virus

But as to chicken pox vaccine I don't think it is mandated. But as a parent you can say no even if it is (there are waiver's you must sign to get them into school). I didn't let them give my kids the chicken pox one because I think it is too new and they are both healthy enough to survive getting chicken pox anyway.

I sure as heck won't let them give my daughter the HPV one either.

Chicken pox is a potential killer or maims. same is the case with hepatitis b which kills.So better get immunized. Both are viral diseases.Difficult to control.
