Maurice Hilleman , who helped develop a measles vaccine in the s, had also tried to push for a chickenpox vaccine around that time.
As new vaccines helped control more severe childhood diseases, chickenpox moved higher up on the list. In addition, the period in which a person is contagious lasts for several days. It begins one or two days before the chickenpox eruptions begin to show, and lasts until all the fluid-filled skin lesions have scabbed over. Typically, chickenpox lasts for 4 to 7 days. Before the vaccine, chickenpox spread easily in households and classrooms, and was especially dangerous for adults who had never had it.
Both children and adults may experience fever, fatigue and body aches with chickenpox, but in adults these symptoms can be more severe. Adults are 25 percent more likely than children to die from chickenpox, according to the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. Further, between and , shingles rates significantly increased among adults aged 20 to 69 years and children with a previous history of natural chickenpox illness had shingles rates that were similar to adult rates.
The CDC currently reports that 1 in 3 persons in the U. They report, however, that they do not know why shingles rates are increasing but deny that the chickenpox vaccine is in anyway related to the increase. They do, however, report that the modified clinical presentation of chickenpox among vaccinated individuals has resulted in diagnosing challenges for both parents and health care providers.
