They do have a vaccine against chickenpox, so by not getting the kids vaccinated, their kids, should they come down with chickenpox, can infect adults with
Shingles?
Man I hope Oprah hangs out with Jenny personally and then has a kid or three who are infected with the chickenpox come sit on her lap!

Supposedly (IIRC), if you’ve had the chickenpox, you’ll likely get the shingles later in life. I think there’s a vaccine for the shingles now, too. I thought I saw something about it on the electronic marquee sign at the Walgreens in our town, in the last couple of weeks.
