A member asked:
How could i possibly have gotten chicken pox if i've had the vaccine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: No vaccine is 100% effective for every person that gets the vaccine. However, people who get vaccinated have a significantly decreased chance of getting the illness. If they do get the illness, it will most likely be very mild.
