The chicken pox vaccine was invented in Japan in the 1970s, was approved for kids in the US in 1995, and required in schools sometime in the early 2000's, depending on the state -- nearly 30 years after its invention. This is very unlike the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.
For some perspective, Chicken Pox killed roughly 100 Americans every year and that vaccine was mandated in effectively all schools and universities across the country.
