Could I get chicken pox even if I have had the vaccine?
A few do. The efficiency of a single dose of vaccine is about 85% while a second dose brings that up to 95% or so. Those that do get wild chickenpox after having at least one dose avoid the most severe complications. If you are susceptible, the incubation period remains 10-21 days after exposure.
