Chickenpox is less common now in Canada due to widespread vaccination, but outbreaks can still occur. Prior to the vaccine's introduction in the 1990s, it was estimated that around 90% of Canadians would contract the virus by adulthood. Current statistics suggest that there are typically around 10,000 to 20,000 reported cases annually, but this number can fluctuate based on vaccination rates and outbreaks. The vaccine has significantly reduced the incidence and severity of chickenpox in the population.
