will chickenpox create an immunity to smallpox like cowpox does?
Answer by abossi
No ,Both caused by different viruses
Answer by TweetyBird
Not at all. C. pox is from varicella zoster virus, s. pox is variola virus. Your question is like asking if the flu creates an immunity to a cold. They're both viruses true, but not even sub-types of the same strain or classification.
Answer by IDU
Cowpox is related to smallpox- vaccinia
Chickenpox is a herpesvirus, totally different
Answer by Pelle K
No it doesn't. But you need not worry as smallpox is now a non disease, it has been eradicated.
Get the facts on the chickenpox vaccine, treatment, causes (varicella zoster virus, VZV), symptoms and signs (itchy, red rash).
