Speaking of which, a young niece of mine, who has had here vaccinations, currently has the chicken pox. Apparently she was one of the rare ones for whom the vaccination didn't take. It happens. She has no immune system issues, so for her this is more or less just like it was back before the vaccination. The up side is that she will now be definitely immune. The down side is that she will be susceptible to shingles later on.
