Chicken pox is a virus.
People who get the virus get red rashes that looks like blisters.
It is very very itchy.
They range in size from an eraser to a small button.
The way you get better is to stay home until the rashes are gone.
If you get a vaccine you will not get it because you have antibodies to fight the virus.

The virus is the air and as you breath that air you will get the virus.
