From my experience you are not immune. If I go near a child with chicken pox I catch it. You are only supposed to be able to get it once but I have had it three times now.
The advice is usually that you get it once and next time you get shingles. As I said, I have had it three times and have now been vaccinated against shingles so here's hoping.
