It kind of depends?
For things like Chickenpox, it’s far better to be infected young (where it’s a mild disease) than old (where it can be quite severe).

It's even better to get vaccinated so that any infection has much decreased odds of becoming a chronic latent infection. Vaccinate enough people and eventually people may not get infected at all.
