I was looking over immunization requirements etc. and one of the requirements was for two chicken pox vaccines given 60 days apart. I had chicken pox pretty badly when I was a little kid, does this mean I have to have the vaccination too?

nope, i had it too, and the scars to prove it. i was told that because i had it, i dont need the vaccination.

Thank goodness! Here I was, freaking out because I thought I was going to miss my first semester for a chicken pox vaccination!
