What happens if you don't get the chickenpox?

Answer 1

It usually isn't bad as long as you don't ever get it. It can have worse effects on you if you are older. Some people purposefully get the chicken pox just for that reason. I would just say always get your vaccinations and make sure you stay away from anyone who does have it. See related link
Its actually better to get it when your younger. Im 13 as well and my sis got it today, im probebly going to get it. If u hav it when your older there would probebly be more pain, u can catch it from other people. i think u can get the vaccine, but im not sure because yr older.
if you come into contact with someone who has chicken pox, then you could catch it.
Nothing will happen

Answer 2

You can't get shingles if you never had chickenpox or the vaccine. Shingles is reactivation of previous chickenpox infection. After you recover from chickenpox, the virus stays in your body for life. You can also get shingles after having the vaccine, but the risks are much lower.

After you have chickenpox (usually as a child), the virus that causes it stays inactive in your body inside certain nerve cells. Most of the time your immune system keeps the virus in these cells. As you get older, or if your immune system gets weak, the varicella-zoster virus may escape from the nerve cells and cause shingles. If you have had the chickenpox vaccine, you are less likely to get chickenpox and therefore less likely to later develop shingles.

Most people who get shingles are more than 50 years of age or have a weak immune system. For example, you might get shingles if you have cancer, take medicines that weaken your immune system, or have HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) or AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome).

In the US, if you don't get chickenpox vaccine you will may need to provide special documentation to enter public school -- proof that there is a medical, religious, or other reason that you can't be vaccinated, depending on your state law. (Minnesota is the only exception).

In many health care professions, you will not be allowed to work unless you are able to prove immunity to chickenpox.

Lastly, if you are a female who gets chickenpox for the first time while pregnant, you may be at risk for miscarriage or birth defects; if you get chickenpox when older, you may be at greater risk for severe complications or death.

Answer 4

Yes. Because then u can't get the chicken poxs. And that's good! Chicken poxs suck! I imagine. I'm 9 and I had the vaxcine and I hadn't had it. And I never will. So yes get the vaxcine!
Most people who get chickenpox vaccine have never had chickenpox. The vaccine will give you protection against getting chickenpox.

Answer 5

Then you get the Chickenpox, the disease. Most people will feel miserable for a week or so and then recover with rash and scars from rash later on. Some do get complications of the disease like pneumonia, encephalitis, secondary bacterial infections, others including death. The unusual thing about chickenpox it it's much worst if you get the disease when you are older.

Answer 6

You may get chickenpox from the person with the shingles. They really are having a reactivation of the chickenpox that they had. Perhaps you might consider getting the vaccine for chicken pox.

Answer 7

Chicken pox can become serious when you get older, that is why it is recommended you get it when you are younger.

Answer 8

If you got chickenpox vaccine as a child, you have lowered your risk of chickenpox. Two doses of chickenpox vaccine are now recommended, so get a second dose if you haven't already done so.

Answer 9

Yes, if you never had chickenpox or the vaccine, you can get it. A bout of chickenpox normally provides lifelong immunity.
