The chickenpox vaccine is relatively new compared to others, so no firm data exists as to how long it is effective, however studies in Japan have showed immunity up to 10 years after the vaccine was received. As more time passes, more time/efficacy studies will be released.

Get the facts on the chickenpox vaccine, treatment, causes (varicella zoster virus, VZV), symptoms and signs (itchy, red rash).
