A member asked:
What are the causes of chickenpox anymore?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Same as before: The wild varicella virus still causes infections in a variety of locations around the world. Since the disease is contagious for at least a day before a person breaks out, it can be passed by an unsuspecting person on to unvaccinated people easily. Acquisition after brief exposure runs > 90% in susceptible populations.If present anywhere in the world aircraft can bring it to your mall tomorrow.
