Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern.MMR vaccine is not related to chickenpox. It gives protection against 3 diseases namely, Measles, Mumps & rubella. Chickenpox is totally a different disease. If you are vaccinated with MMR but not with chickenpox vaccine than you are susceptible to develop chickenpox if you come in contact with an individual affected with chickenpox or herpes zoster(Shingles). If you never had chickenpox in your life, then you will not develop herpes zoster. Hope this will be helpful. Do ask if any more question is there. Take care.
