A member asked:
What can i do if i had never had chickenpox at the age of 19? is there any vaccine or treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Confusing question: A 19 yo can get the vaccine( series of 2 doses) and develop protective antibody levels to the chickenpox.If you were to get wild chickenpox at 19 there is medication to reduce the intensity of the illness but it will not stop the germ from running its course.
