I had chicken pox... and mumps... when I was 7 years old. During summer vacation, as Murphy would have it. One after the other. Forget which one came first.
My kids had it once before leaving on a trip as SLF for the West Coast with my wife, to visit the outlaws. I queried my physician wife if it was wise for them to travel when contagious. She said "why not, everyone has to get chicken pox once in their life, might as well they get it over with now"...
Not sure that's in the Hippocratic Oath. Probably has more to do with failing to buy cancellation insurance...
