Shingles and adult chickenpox are the reasons the UK National Health Service does not vaccinate against chickenpox.

They do vaccinate pregnant women who never got chickenpox and people with weakened immune system, though.

That's quite interesting, my government recommends people (specifically children it seems, however) get the vaccination. I'll have to read into that, thanks for the link.
