The doctor noted that it is important to understand that the immunity of an adult is already formed, accustomed to fighting more familiar diseases. Chickenpox in this case will be something new.

It is also important to consider that an adult's immune system may be weaker due to lifestyle. This may make it more difficult to fight the virus.

As the doctor added, existing chronic diseases can also create problems.
