A member asked:
What are the reasons that people believe the chicken pox vaccine confers lifelong immunity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It does for most: 2 doses of the vaccine will protect 95 % of the people for severe disease for the rest of their life and will protect about 70 % of the people against even the mild form of the disease as well.
