alt Hacker Newsis this a regional/country thing? I'm 30 and I never got chickenpox vaxx, and I never heard of anyone getting such a thing growing up. but I also never heard of anyone getting chickenpox either when I was a kid. it just wasn't a thing? I only knew about it from american cartoons.
not an antivaxx community, people got MMR and HPV and tetanus vaxx. this was normalworld suburban britain. I didn't even know there was a chickenpox vaxx until now.

NHS has been refusing to vaccinate against chickenpox for many years. Finally changed its mind in the last year or two.
(Got both of my kids (5&7) vaccinated privately. Don't regret it at all.)

Apparently, while it is currently available to certain people in the UK, the chickenpox will only become generally available to children starting next year: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/free-chickenpox-vaccinati...
