In Denmark we don't vaccinate for chicken pox for exactly the reasons given in the post.

It may also be due to concerns with uptake. Outcomes can be worse at middling vaccination rates with varicella.

Universal varicella vaccination (UVV) is not currently part of the Danish National Immunization Program [4]. In the absence of a UVV program, the estimated varicella disease burden in Denmark is considerable, with 63,500 cases annually, mainly among those under the age of 5 years [5]

Oh wow.

And afaik, you guys have a decent healthcare system, so the state is paying for the consultations and treatments of the complications. The vaccine is 40€, I hope nobody goes to the generalist about it twice.

And I just found out it's not mandatory in France either. I was convinced it was mandatory everywhere.

I hope you vaccinate for shingles then, because it can be very painful and debilitating
