Children today don�t need to get chicken pox like people years ago did. A simple vaccination will prevent chicken pox in children if parents choose to have their child receive it. It is a voluntary vaccine, so not all children will get the shot. To keep the spread of chicken pox at a minimum, it is a good idea to have your child vaccinated against the disease.

Can you get chickenpox from someone who has shingles if you had shingles before?

If you had shingles before, that means you had chicken pox already as a child, long before shingles developed. You cannot catch chicken pox from shingles if you already had chicken pox.Chicken pox is a one-time illness, usually in childhood. It does not matter how "mild" or "bad" the chicken pox is. The body's defenses are activated whether "mild" or "bad" and immunity results. No person acquires chicken pox twice.Shingles is caused by the same virus but with shingles, the virus is re-activated within the person's own body (not from catching the chicken pox virus from someone else). A person who never had chicken pox cannot get shingles; but that person who never had chicken pox can get chicken pox.A person who has shingles can infect others with chicken pox, but only if those persons (usually children) never had chicken pox before. If a person with shingles is around a person/child who already had chicken pox, the other people won't get chicken pox or shingles.The defining factors in shingles are:The person already had chicken poxThe person is generally over 50 years oldThe person may also have a compromised immune system
