You can catch chickenpox if you haven't had it or haven't had the vaccination for it.

Yes you can. The flu is a completely different virus. Even if you've had chicken pox, you could still get shingles from the virus.

There is no relationship between the influenza virus and the chicken pox virus, so yes you can.
