    Back in the 80s, but probably before and after that, parents would get their kids together for Chickepox parties. It would spread the chickenpox to ensure kids got it for the immunity, as it is much worse when you are an adult.

    There was a South Park episode about it.

      Simpsons did a similar bit when Maggie got chickenpox.

      I never got the chickenpox vaccination, as it didn’t exist when I was a kid. I got shingles a few years ago, so that was fun.

        I had chickenpox when I was 6 I think. I know I am supposed to be getting the vaccine soon. I also need to see if I need another dose of MMR, especially since I am in NM. Luckily not close to the outbreak there.
