An 18-year-old student who was banned by his school for refusing to take the chickenpox vaccine has now contracted the disease.The original chickenpox vaccine was developed in the 1960s using matter from two aborted foetusesJerome Kunkel of Kentucky in the US has not been allowed back to his school since March 15, when a chickenpox outbreak prompted officials to order unvaccinated students to keep away.

But, his lawyer confirmed, he has now contracted chickenpox and will be free to return once his symptoms have cleared. "From their perspective, they always recognized they were running the risk of getting it, and they were OK with it." Some religions are against the chickenpox vaccination because the initial vaccine was developed by scientists in the 1960s using matter from two aborted foetuses.
