People do get vaccinations for chickenpox. In some countries, vaccination for chickenpox in routine; in others, it is used only for those at high risk of transmission of complication.

.

Some reasons that people do not get vaccinated:

  • Chickenpox vaccine is 85% effective, although it does reduce the severity of chickenpox even if infection occurs.
  • Some believe getting chickenpox at an earlier stage in life is far better than getting a vaccine because when you are young, chickenpox is usually harmless.
  • Vaccination against chickenpox is expensive and it is usually not a life threatning disesase when you are young.
  • Some believe there's more chances of getting chickenpox when you are older if you get vaccinated.

If a student is vaccinated against mumps, then he will not get mumps. He is susceptible for all other virus infections. Suppose you vaccinate a student for Flu. Still he can get the infection from other strains of the Flu. So immunity is very specific for perticular virus and strain of virus.
