Almost all kids get the Chicken Pox - but is there a shot for it like there's a shot for the Measles etc? I've never heard of one.

There is a Chicken Pox vaccine. It's called Varicella. Your local Public Health should have it, you doctor will for sure.

Yes there is. In fact, I was vaccinated with it as a child, and I have yet to see any sign of Chicken Pox on me.
