As an immunocompromised cancer survivor, I can tell you that unless you’re also immunocompromised, it’s not too late to get vaccinated against chicken pox. After my stem cell transplants, I had to have all my childhood vaccines again; but I can’t get varicella (chicken pox) or MMR as they’re live vaccines and the risk of catching the disease from the vaccine is too great.

Get as many vaccinations as you can as often as you can.
