The upside is, of course, that once they recover they will be permanently immune from chickenpox. They will also be susceptible to shingles, but what the hey! Once they are old enough they can get the shingles vaccine.

Fun fact! You can get shingles at any time in your life after you've had chickenpox. My son got it at age 20. But the shingles vaccine won't be given to anyone under the age of 50! So enjoy 30 years of shingles!
