More Description

The chickenpox is an infection that manifests itself as a rash on the skin. The varicella-zoster virus is the pathogen that leads to the development of the disease. (The disease known as chickenpox is also known as varicella-zoster.) Those who have not been vaccinated against chickenpox are more likely to contract the disease when they are children.

Because most children are vaccinated against chickenpox while they are very small, the disease is significantly less common today. Before the first vaccination against chickenpox was authorized for use in the United States in 1995, nearly everyone was susceptible to contracting the disease. Very few people experienced issues.
