Are we sure they don't get it, or are just asymptomatic in the short term.

Chicken pox is a thing parents commonly seek out for their kids around here. But in the long term the vaccine is still better at reducing long term consequences.

(Got it intentionally as a child then again [unintentionally] as a teen. Had some nerve damage since. Not looking forward to shingles.)
