There is no special medical term for a mild case of chickenpox. Shingles is the term for a recurrence of chickenpox that is usually covering a small area of the body; however, the symptoms may be different and, in some ways, more severe. Shingles isn't considered a milder version of chickenpox.

How does chickenpox vaccine work?

The chickenpox vaccine works by giving your body a very small, weakened form of the varicella-zoster virus, which causes chickenpox. This does not make you sick but helps your immune system recognize the virus. Your body then makes special proteins called antibodies that fight the virus. If you are exposed to chickenpox in the future, these antibodies will help protect you from getting sick or make the illness much milder. The vaccine is usually given in two doses to provide strong and lasting protection. If you want to know more about health, fitness and diet then visit ankithealthtips.in
