    Have you ever had chickenpox? How old are you? Were you ever vaccinated against varicella?


    -------------

    I'm interested to know how prevalent chickenpox infection is, especially in the younger populations who have been vaccinated against varicella.

    I'm 24 and I never had chickenpox, but did receive immunizations for it.

    Yes, I had it. Still have the scars, too. I'm 13. And I don't know what varicella is, but I had all my vaccinations as a child.

    Varicella is the virus that causes/is chickenpox. We vaccinate in the US against it. I'm not sure if other countries do.

    Either we don't or it's very rare here. We just make sure kids have it before they grow up. When a child has it they can be sure to expect a lot of play dates, as everyone wants to catch it.
    I was about 2 or 3 years old I believe when I had it.

    I've had chicken pox when I was 7-ish and now, I get shingles, which is also caused by the same virus as chicken pox. So, for those of you who've had chicken pox, please talk to your doctor about being vaccinated for shingles, because they're a real pain in the :***:

    Yes I have had chicken pox, however I am unable to vote cause there is no option for if you were under 13 when you had them.. I was maybe between 4-10 maybe, cause remember the exact age though.

    Sorry, I should have clarified. The poll is for your age at the moment. 13 is the lowest number because it's the youngest age a person can be to join EC.
