Although it's extremely rare to get chicken pox more than once it is possible for a person to come down with chicken pox a second time or even more.

Most times though a person only gets chicken pox when they're a child as in 5 or 6 years old and they never have it again.

If you didn't have chicken pox as a child then it's likely you'll get chicken pox sometime in your adult life.
