    Pretty sure you can get vaccinated against chickenpox, check that.

    Here I know there is a shingles shot but only after you’re 50 for some reason

      It’s very expensive so they only give it to the elderly and those with weakened immune systems. In Australia for example, you can get it even if you don’t meet the criteria; but it’s not subsidised, so you’ll have to pay over A$200 a shot; and you need two of them for it to work.
