A member asked:
After having the chicken pox virus, will getting the vaccine harm me in any way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: There are many who decide to have the chickenpox vaccine because they cannot remember having had chickenpox as a kid. It has not been found to create any problems for this group, and should not do so for you.
