    Unfortunately yes, when my son went to 4 year old kinder the kids who got it had all been vaccinated. They've been playing around with the vaccine for a while as it wasnt as effective as they hoped.

    You can still get chickenpox but a much milder version. It is now recommended that a second dose of the vaccine be given for better protection. It is not on the schedule but my local centre charges $60 for it.
