I see Naomi has given you as good a reply as I could, but one thing. Even if you get vaccinated, or actually, even if you've had chicken pox, you can still get it. That old adage about not being able to get chicken pox again, is only technically true. When you get it the second time, it comes in a slightly different variety called 'Shingles'. In fact, you can only get shingles if you've had chicken pox. I assume the same is true if you have been vaccinated since in both cases, you end up with a dormant chicken pox virus in your system.
