Sir, I am going for swimming training. My trainer told me to take chicken pox vaccine. Sir, I don't know if I have taken this vaccine in childhood or not. Sir, please told me that can I take vaccine or not if I have already taken it in childhood.

Hello, Chickenpox vaccine is very much effective about 98% after two doses of the vaccine to prevent the disease. Some people who are vaccinated against chickenpox may still get the disease, unfortunately, having a milder effect with fewer skin blisters and little or no fever. Since, stagnant & infected water used for sweeming might cause chicken pox, even after the vaccination is done, so far. Tk ,your instructor seriously. Tk, care.
