Chickenpox is not a reportable disease, so exact numbers are not available, but sampling centers for chickenpox prevalence shows that chickenpox cases in the US have dropped 90-95% since the start of immunization in the 1990s. Prior to the introduction of chickenpox vaccine in 1995, there were about 4 million cases per year. Now the rate is more like 200,000 to 400,000 cases per year. This rate is expected to drop further as more adults have been vaccinated.

CDC estimates that 4 million cases occur each year in the USA. 500,000 cases of shingles per year are reported.{}{}{} Chicken pox are not contagious unless you are around people who have never had it before. Be careful if you have people in your household who have never had chicken pox it is very highly contagious only then.
