Do you mean before TM or since or either? I had chicken pox in early
adolescence, maybe 25 years pre-TM. I had a measles-mumps-rubella inoculation
after my first child was born because the blood work during pregnancy showed I
was not immune to measles, even though I'm told I had them as a child. That
was about 10 yrs. pre-TM. I had no problems with the shot.

My step-father was exposed to chicken pox as a 40 year old, and the chicken
pox virus settled in his eye, and his retina detatched and he lost most of the
sight in that eye. That was the first I had ever heard of viruses going odd
places.
