Can you be a carrier If you never had chickenpox?
When people speak of a "carrier" of an infectious disease, they normally are referring to someone who is carrying the germ, can infect others, but has no symptoms. The period between getting the virus and getting symptoms is called the "incubation period" of an infection. The incubation period of chickenpox is 10-21 days, but is typically about two weeks. However, chickenpox is a virus in the herpes family that goes into remission after the patient recovers from chickenpox. The virus stays in your body. It is the same virus that causes shingles in some in later years. However, in this period of remission, the patient is not contagious and isn't, technically, a "carrier."
