I was exposed to chicken pox at least 4 times (and possibly more like 6) and never came down with it - when the vaccine finally came out, I was in college, and got it because the health risks for adults are a lot worse (especially if the adults, like me, already have lung issues.)

Mom tried to get me the smallpox vaccine, but they were on their way out at that point, and she didn't manage it.
