Yes, chicken pox can be prevented through vaccination. Vaccination is usually recommended for children ages 12 months or older to protect them from future infection. Vaccines available today are safe and effective at preventing infection from the virus that causes chickenpox.

Yes, chicken pox can be treated with antiviral medications such as acyclovir or valacyclovir. These medications help reduce the severity and duration of the disease by targeting the virus and helping the body fight it off more effectively. Additionally, over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen may be taken to help relieve some of the discomfort associated with having chicken pox.

The best way to prevent spreading chickenpox is by vaccinating yourself and your children if they are old enough. It's also important to practice good hygiene including regular handwashing and avoiding close contact with people who have active cases of the disease like touching their blisters or sharing items like towels or bedding with them. If you already have been exposed to someone with chicken pox then it's best to stay home until you are no longer contagious which is typically about 2 weeks after your last blister has scabbed over.

Children from 1-14 years of age are most likely to catch this infection due to their weakened immune systems; however anyone who has not yet been vaccinated against this virus can become infected regardless of age. If someone in your family member has been diagnosed with this virus then it's likely that other family members may soon become sick too due its ability for easy transmission between individuals through contact or respiratory droplets when coughing/ sneezing.
