People who have chickenpox normally develop immunity that lasts throughout their life, and they are unlikely to get chickenpox a second time. It is possible for a person who had chickenpox earlier to get shingles, a related disease that affects between one fifth and one third of those who had chickenpox earlier.

Why would you have no immunity to chickenpox when you had as a child?

A case of chickenpox in childhood normally confers lifelong immunity, regardless of the severity of the case. The cellular immunity that prevents chickenpox can decline with time due to age or from immunosuppression from medications or health conditions. But I wonder if you might be asking why a blood test for chickenpox antibodies would be negative if you had chickenpox as a child. There are two possible explanations. One is that the original diagnosis of chickenpox was wrong. The other is that you have a false negative test; this can happen sometimes even when you are still immune. In either case, a vaccine for chickenpox may be a good choice. Talk with your healthcare provider about what makes sense give your medical history.


How much is the shingles shot?

Hi, I found this on the World Health Organization web site (info below): "In mid-1990s, vaccines to provide "basic" coverage for tuberculosis, polio, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and measles cost about US$ 1 per child." As you can see, the polio vaccine is here included as part of a package of vaccines. When you include transportation of vaccines and the labor to administer the vaccines, the price increases a great deal. According to the WHO web site, that package of vaccines along with hepatitis B and Hib vaccines can cost $20-40 per child.
