"Available Vaccines and Vaccination Campaigns
The chickenpox vaccine was added to the childhood immunization schedule in 1995. The booster dose was added in 2006."
^^^ there's a vaccine now so maybe that's why we're seeing adults who've never had c/p.
when i was a kid it seemed most kids dealt w/c-p at some point during childhood. and some parents would even purposefully expose their kids to it so they could 'get it over with'.
