Chickenpox can kill you but it is rare.
Before chickenpox vaccine became common in the US, 100 to 150 people died each year from chickenpox. Most of these were healthy adults. Since chickenpox vaccine became more common, Rates of chickenpox deaths are down by over 95% in patients under 50, and been halved in older adults.
People at highest risk for complications from chickenpox are babies, teenagers, and adults; pregnant women; and people with lower immune response, such as those with HIV, those who had organ transplants, or people on chemotherapy or long-term steroids.
