Why would you have no immunity to chickenpox when you had as a child?
A case of chickenpox in childhood normally confers lifelong immunity, regardless of the severity of the case. The cellular immunity that prevents chickenpox can decline with time due to age or from immunosuppression from medications or health conditions. But I wonder if you might be asking why a blood test for chickenpox antibodies would be negative if you had chickenpox as a child. There are two possible explanations. One is that the original diagnosis of chickenpox was wrong. The other is that you have a false negative test; this can happen sometimes even when you are still immune. In either case, a vaccine for chickenpox may be a good choice. Talk with your healthcare provider about what makes sense give your medical history.

Children ages 7 to 12 years who haven't been vaccinated should receive two catch-up doses of the chickenpox vaccine, given at least three months apart. Children age 13 or older who haven't been vaccinated should also receive two catch-up doses of the vaccine, given at least four weeks apart.· Unvaccinated adults who've never had chickenpox .Adults who've never had chickenpox or been vaccinated usually receive two doses of the vaccine, four to eight weeks apart. If you don't remember whether you've had chickenpox or the vaccine, a blood test can determine your immunity.
