"4 million children in the Unites States contracted chickenpox each year, and nearly 11,000 people were hospitalized and about 100 people died each year"

The switch from "children" to "people" is because the majority of the dead & hospitalized were ADULTS or TEENS.

The safest time to get chickenpox is as a young child; the risk of serious complications is very small.

We drive our babies in cars routinely; the risk is 100s of times higher.
