People who throw "Pox Parties" wonder the same thing. I suppose it gives some parents the peace of mind. It does potentially prevent an annoying disease, anyway. But then kids won't have super cool chicken pox scars to show off anymore.
I'm reading on the CDC varicella website that 2 doses are now recommended to provide "immunity", but IMO the vaccine hasn't been around long enough (only since 1995) to determine that yet.
