Hello , chicken pox is a viral disease. It occurs most commonly below the age of 12 years i. E, in childhood. It may even occur in adults. Once infected, our body develops resistance to it and the chances of getting infected again how string is our body's immunity. If the immunity (resistance power) is strong enough to fight the infection then chances of getting infected again are very less. If it is low then chances are more. If you have any other queries related to your health, you can always consult me privately.Take care.
