Second attacks of chickenpox are rare but do occur.
Infection remains latent and can recur years later as shingles.

yes. usually an adult has an immunity for it because of his/her contact with related illnesses. but if they havent gotten sick in a very long time, they will get infected. children may be vaccinated because in many cases it may cause serious harm. sick children are also very hard to control.
