Is there any vaccine available for chicken pox? My roommate is diagnosed with chicken pox today. Its been 3 days since he was having fever and yesterday it started developing red spots all over body. So, just need an advice if I should take a vaccine for it. Also, during my childhood I had suffered from chicken pox. But to be on safe side, need some suggestions if I shud take any vaccine for the same.

Since you already had chicken pox when you were younger, you are immune to it. Don't worry! If you are not sure, u may get vaccinated.
