My son had a mild patch of it a few months ago - just on his back, and he was vaccinated at the proper time. Dr. thought it was just a wild strain.
...and in all likelihood they’ll each get a chance to do it all over again in 50 years or so with Shingles....some worse, much worse, than others.
I had the pox in 3rd grade. My mom also had them as a child, but she got a mild case when I had them.
People were vaccinated with mild symptoms?
("Here's your shot of mild symptoms.")
A few years ago, a 28 year old neighbor died from chickenpox related edema, i.e. brain swelling, from innumerable chickenpox blisters on her brain.
When I was in 8th grade I caught mumps despite a vaccination. It turned out an entire batch of the vaccine was bad, and there had been an outbreak in 7th graders and they even warned the parents of kids in that grade throughout the whole district.
It never occurred to the school administrators to send a warning to people in other grades who might have been inoculated from the same batch.
