Varicella vaccine

Well, I am 31 years old and I just got a shot of the varicella vaccine. Pretty amazing I went my whole life without getting varicella. Now, due to my many years on this earth, it is dangerous to get.

I am talking about the chicken pox. During last year's physical, I found out that I was not immune to the chicken pox. So, this year I got a shot and I have to go back for the second dose in about 6 weeks. I felt like it was 1908 and not 2008. I hope I am immune to polio.....

It's quite dangerous to get it as an adult, from what I understand. There's a South park episode where the parents are trying to intentionally infect their kids so they can then be immune after that.
