Who's At Risk
Chickenpox is not as common as it once was due to the varicella vaccine. However, some children that are immunized may still get a milder form of chickenpox. It is most common in children under the age of 10. This disease is rare in infants, as they are usually protected by their mother's immune system (unless their mother was never infected or vaccinated).
