There is no cure for chickenpox. Once you get chickenpox, the virus remains in your body for life. Your immune system will help resolve the original chickenpox illness. Antiviral medications can shorten the duration of illness, and are usually reserved for those at high risk for chickenpox complications.

The vaccine for Chicken Pox was developed by Michiaki Takahashi in 1974. It was used in the US since 1995.
