You cannot get chickenpox twice. Your body adapts to the virus and you no longer break out. You can, however, get shingles later in life from the chickenpox virus still in your body.

Shingles is caused by the chickenpox virus. You do not get shingles from someone with shingles; you get chickenpox from someone with shingles. Then when you get older, you will get shingles because you had chickenpox. Or, you might get older and never get chickenpox. In that case, you will thank your mother for having you vaccinated against chickenpox when you were a child.

What happens if you don't get the chickenpox?
It usually isn't bad as long as you don't ever get it. It can have worse effects on you if you are older. Some people purposefully get the chicken pox just for that reason. I would just say always get your vaccinations and make sure you stay away from anyone who does have it. See related linkIts actually better to get it when your younger. Im 13 as well and my sis got it today, im probebly going to get it. If u hav it when your older there would probebly be more pain, u can catch it from other people. i think u can get the vaccine, but im not sure because yr older.if you come into contact with someone who has chicken pox, then you could catch it.Nothing will happen
