As having a few chicken pox scars (luckily in areas that are not seen) I understand
this some.
The vaccine also prevents Shingles later in life. Shingles normally happens in older
people where your immune system is stressed/suppressed. It is quite painful. Even
though I am not very old, I have experienced Shingles and it ain't fun.
Both Shingles and Chicken Pox are forms of the Herpes Virus. Cannot remember which
simplex, but not symplex 10 I'm sure. And not the same symplex as your STD type
Herpes.
And if you live in Virginia, it's state law that children are immunized against
Chicken Pox. Before age 3 I believe.

There is a whole new class of vaccines the drug companies are pushing
that are supposed to prevent generally non-life-threatening illnesses
like Chicken Pox. Merck's Chicken Pox vaccine ad is particularly
heinous, as it promotes the vaccine as preventing cosmetic blemishes
that result from Chicken Pox.
Another in a long line of medicines for healthy people with unknown long-term effects.
If you are interested in Vaccine safety and dangers, there is an
