A recent report found more than 90% of patients affected by a chickenpox outbreak in New York City had no documentation of receiving a chickenpox vaccine.

Just 1.4% of cases were among people who received two vaccine doses.

    Back in my day our parents had parties for chicken pox. The older you get, the worse it is.

    There was no vaccine when I was a child.

      I got it from my sister as a kid. I felt fine. She is six years older and was pretty bad with it.

        My brother caught it first. He developed keloids from it. I was maybe 6 or 7 at the time. I had to wear mittens on my hands till it healed.
