Abstract
Historically, chickenpox has been largely a benign disease affecting predominantly preschool and school-aged children. Times are changing: in Massachusetts, children enrolled in day-care programs will soon be required to be vaccinated against varicella (or have evidence of having had the disease).1 Although it is generally held that immunizing children is axiomatic for public health, vaccinating all children against chickenpox is a bad idea.
