- Yes, adults can catch chickenpox, although it is more common in children. If an adult has never had chickenpox or hasn't been vaccinated against it, they are susceptible to the virus. Chickenpox in adults can be more severe than in children, with a higher risk of complications like pneumonia, skin infections, or encephalitis.
