What Is Chicken Pox?

9. Prevention
The vaccine for chicken pox drastically increases a person’s protection against the disease, although it doesn’t make us completely safe. Many adults over a certain age will not have been vaccinated but they are still able to do so to keep them protected.
Should you or somebody else catch the disease then you should take care to avoid spreading it further. Not everybody is able to be vaccinated, and vaccines don’t give 100% protection, so it is still possible to transmit the disease. If you are infected then you should stay as isolated as possible until the disease has passed.
