A member asked:
Can you get chicken pox or measles twice if you had it once? if so, will it be milder, same or more aggressive form? can you get chicken pox or measles if you are vaccinated? how sever will it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is very unlikely to get chicken pox or measles again if you had a natural disease. However, reinfection is not too unusual even after full immunization against them (2 doses in US). Reinfection is usually milder in severity.
