Would love to know... when they say that people can catch chicken pox twice- is it because those people never developed immunity? and would that be reflected by their IGG test as negative? OR can someone who is IGG positive catch the chickenpox twice? Essentially, if you have IGG does that mean you are absolutely immune? If you know this answer I would love to know where it came from. thanks.
