Yes, and for better or worse, I got the vaccine before COVID was a thing. I had chicken pox when I was 27 and I don't recommend it. I never ached so badly in my entire life. Was awake for 24 hours solid. I watched CNN all night (yeah, I know), alternated with soaking in the bathtub in the hottest water I could get. The pock marks lasted for a year. Just imagine going to the gym and looking like a plague victim for an entire year. Got some strange looks in the locker room.
So, I decided I never wanted to go through that again and I got the shingles vaccine, which is also two shots. Both times it felt like a 500 lb. gorilla had punched me in the arm. Still, it was better than the pox.
Believe it or not, the person I caught it from was a senior citizen at church. He felt fine, despite having it, so he ran around like it was nothing. After I got it, I ended up passing it on to my other half, who fared even worse than I did.
So, it's not as unusual as you think for adults to catch it.

Yes because you got chicken pox at 27 years old which is pretty rare usually it spreads to children not adults
