I had chicken pox in high school. Another embarrassing week among many (that zit on the tip of my nose, for example). I heard enough horror stories about shingles so I got the shot.
I got chicken pox when I was 25. I had been home for Christmas, and my nephew had gotten them from school. Mom figured all six of her kids had gotten them, so said nothing. My little sister and I both broke out with them a few weeks later. That was fun…not.
