I have just gotten the chicken pox vaccination in 2 searies. I heard on the news somewhere that I might have to get the chicken vaccine all over again? I never had the chicken pox when I was a little kid. I am almost 21 yrs old and still nothing yet. Should I be worried because I heard the older the person get's it, the harder it is to get over it? Is that true.I am worried that I may get it but it won't be until I am almost probaly 29?

If you just got the vaccine, then you should be fine. It is much worse to get chicken pox when you're an adult because it turns into shingles, which can last for years and can be very irritating. Just stay away from anyone that may have been infected to be on the safe side. Consult your doctor as to whether or not you have to be vaccinated again later on.
