What is the difference between chickenpox with vaccine and chickenpox without vaccine?

∙ 10y ago
Both shingles and chicken pox are caused by the same virus called Varizella Zoster Virus or VZV. The only difference is from how the illness was triggered; Chickenpox occur during childhood, while shingles comes later. VZV remains dormant inside the body after chickenpox. The virus is awakened if the body experiences weakness in its immune system or is triggered by stress.
Also, to add to this answer, shingles is usually on one side, not both sides at the same time. It follows the nerve it has affected. It will either be on the right or left of your body, not both sides.
Shingles is transmitted only by direct contact with the moist lesions. In contrast, chickenpox is transmitted both by contact with lesions and by respiratory droplets.

∙ 10y agoNo illness precedes the chickenpox rash. Malaise, fever, rigors, vomiting, headache and backache precede the rash by two to three days in smallpox.
Pocks are more superficial in chickenpox. Pocks are usually present on the palms and soles in smallpox.
- Smallpox is a highly contagious and deadly disease that can give you flu-like symptoms and leave you with disfiguring scars. About one in three people that contract smallpox die from it.
- A person infected with chickenpox can unknowingly transmit the virus to others before symptoms develop. Smallpox becomes infectious when symptoms appear and remains contagious until scabs fall from the pustules.
- Smallpox appears more or less simultaneously and are in the same stage of development in different areas of the body. Chickenpox appears in successive crops and in any one area on the body, may be in different stages of development
- Smallpox is distributed more on the extremities and face than on the trunk. Chickenpox is distributed more on the trunk than extremities, face, and scalp.

∙ 10y agoBreakthrough chickenpox -- mild chickenpox that may occur in someone who was vaccinated -- typically is much easier than chickenpox in unvaccinated patients. Typically there will be fewer than 50 bumps in breakthrough chickenpox, while chickenpox in unvaccinated patients may have 250 to 500 bumps.

Can a baby without vaccine catch chickenpox?
Yes, a baby without vaccine can get chickenpox.
Can chickenpox kill anybody without vaccine?
Yes and no it is possible but you still need to get a shot
Is chickenpox contagious?
Yes, chickenpox is highly contagious. But only to people who have never had it or had the vaccine. In countries without routine vaccination, 90% of people get chickenpox before they are 15 years old.
Is chickenpox a natural immunity?
After the infection, you get naturally acquired active immunity to the chickenpox. You have a very low chance of getting chickenpox again because your immune system has made antibodies to fight off.
At what age do you usually get chickenpox?
Most people get chickenpox when they are young, which is good. Although children can pull through chicken pox easily, if not uncomfortably, it is much more devastating to adults. Plus, once you have it as a kid, the cells go into remission in your body, your B cells produce antibodies for chickenpox, and there's a extremely high chance that you will never get chickenpox again. But you can get it at any age.
Your child has had chickenpox for 2-3 days now but is not itchy or blistered yet?
If your child had the vaccine previously, they may get a mild case without itching or blisters. However, if your child has not been vaccinated, the diagnosis is not likely to be chickenpox if bumps have been showing up for two to three days without itching or blistering. Contact your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.

Without a decimal, there is no difference.
How do you prevent or treat chickenpox?
After contracting chicken pox, the body develops a natural immunity to it once you get better. There is now a vaccine, which introduces damaged versions of the chicken pox virus so that you develop that immunity without having to contract the actual disease.
Could you die from chickenpox in the 16th century?
Yes, there have always been deaths from chickenpox. Usually, patients recover completely without complications.
How do you prevent chickenpox and flu?
Chickenpox and flu are both spread through droplet transmission, so avoiding people who are coughing and sneezing, avoiding putting your hands near your mouth or eyes without washing first, and setting an example by protecting your colleagues from your own coughing and sneezing can reduce the risk. In addition, both chickenpox and flu are vaccine-preventable, so talk with your health care provider about whether it makes sense for you to get these vaccines, and encourage your family, friends, and colleagues to do so as well.
