Please take a guess why chicken pox is uncommon in Belgium.

• Ichthypresbyter 5y ago
  The chickenpox vaccination is uncommon in Belgium- it's not on the standard list of childhood vaccinations, and fewer than 2.5% of Belgian children get it. Chickenpox itself is certainly not uncommon- estimated at 113,000 cases per year, which is essentially the same number as the birth rate. In other words, every Belgian child can be expected to get chickenpox at some point. Source here: https://adc.bmj.com/content/101/1/16 https://adc.bmj.com/content/101/1/16
