Chicken pox is a self limiting disease
in children is treated with symptomatic management.
In adults depending on severity of disease treatment is given.
Only if immune compromised patient then sometimes antiviral used
Vaccination prevents infection and/ or decreases the severity of symptoms so everyone needs to be immunised who has not had the infection.
