Can you get smallpox after you received the Vacination?

Answer 1

No, small pox is a different virus and cannot be caused by Varicella zoster, the virus causing chicken pox.

Small pox is a disease caused by the variola virus. Symptoms include, a characteristic rash, especially on face, arms and legs. The rash mainly starts the 2nd or 3rd day. The resulting spots become filled with clear liquid, and then fill with pus. Then form a crust, which eventually comes off. Until the crust falls off you are contagious.you also get headaches backaches and a high fever. So small pox and chicken pox are completely different.

you are right because you can never get chicken pox and small pox at the SAME time but you may get small pox and then you can get a case of chicken pox. but if you get chicken pox dont worry about getting small pox because small pox is just a bunch of blisters on your body. but the same about both of them is that there are both contagios. so if you touch some one that has smalll pox or chicken pox you have a 78% chance of cathing it and a 22% chance of not getting that disease.

Answer 2

Yes, but small pox is way worse. You get scars and big bumps on your face. You can even get blinded. Many people died from it. But small pox isn't around today. Chicken pox is just dots, while small pox is 3-D dots. If you got the chicken pox vaccine or if you have already had it you won't get small pox. It isn't around today. The last case was in 1977.

Answer 3

Ummmm....... I really don't think small pox exist anymore! But if you are talking about Chicken pox, then yes you can get it even after you get the vacination, all the vacintion does is reduces the chance of you getting the chicken pox.

______________________________________

Smallpox does not exist "in the wild" any longer; it was the first disease to be completely eradicated. The USA and Russia still maintain stocks of smallpox cultures and vaccines, so it would be at least theoretically possible for somebody to steal some of it and release it as a biological warfare agent.

Because the smallpox vaccination itself had a low but non-zero chance of causing injuries, most children no longer receive the smallpox vaccination.

But the vaccination success rate was VERY high, and the chance of getting smallpox after being vaccinated was quite low.

Answer 4

Measles and chickenpox are caused by different viruses. Various pathogens produce matching antigens made by the body. So the chickenpox antibody made by the body matches the chickenpox virus. The measles virus produces antibodies made by the body that match that virus. So you can see that the chickenpox virus antigen cannot fight off the measles virus.

Even the common cold, which is also a virus, has many variations and it mutates quickly so that each year, we have a 'new' strain of the cold going around and no one's bodies have the immune system defenses ready for this new virus.

Answer 5

Smallpox does not provide immunity to chickenpox. They are caused by different viruses.

Answer 6

Yes, you can get chickenpox if you've had oral or genital herpes. Although the viruses are similar, they are not the same.
