A vacation is a tiny piece of a microbe that is dead or weak, (doesn't make you sick). It is inserted into your body. Your body then makes an antibody to destroy it. Therefore if you come in contact with that disease again your body will know how to destroy it as fast as possible. Vacations are definitely essential to your health, it will reduce you chances of disease by 70-90%. Instead of having to catch the disease, get symptoms and create an antibody for it, your body does this with the dead microbe so you don't actually feel sick at all. Some vactations can be a life saver!
In Australia you get vaccinated for Varicella (chickenpox) when you are between 10-15 years of age. If you have already had the disease prior to this age it isn't necessary to get the vacation, as you would already have an antibody. The vacation is done later in a child's life as it is okay for children to get it at a young age, it is a more serious disease the older you are when you catch it.
