D
Varicella tends to cause more severe symptoms in adults than in children; adults have a 10-fold greater likelihood of hospitalization and a 20-fold increase in deaths. Chickenpox is highly con-tagious. Even with herd immunity, because of the degree of contagiousness, spread is likely. Va-ricella can be serious, even in children.
