A member asked:
Is it possible i can get the chicken pox if i got vaccinated about 15 years ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You are very likely to have receiced one shot which was a standard back then. Later on, it was found that one shot did not provide adequate protection for a prolonged period. A booster dose vaccination has typically been given in 4-5 years.
