Hello there. I can understand your concern. The thing about chicken pox is that once a person gets it, he becomes immune to chicken pox for the rest of his life. Body develops the immunity like how vaccination provide. .so there is no need for you to even worry about it. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.

In most cases, getting chickenpox once means you will not get it again. This is called lifelong immunity. There will be no need of vaccination at this age. However, in rare cases, a person gets it again.i suggest to take another opinion before you proceed.
