A recent report found more than 90% of patients affected by a chickenpox outbreak in New York City had no documentation of receiving a chickenpox vaccine.

Just 1.4% of cases were among people who received two vaccine doses.

        Yup. You got to suffer and itch for a week while bathing in oatmeal and coating yourself in calamine lotion.

      Back in my day our parents had parties for chicken pox. The older you get, the worse it is.

      There was no vaccine when I was a child.
