Chickenpox Vaccine

Adults and children who have not had chickenpox can be vaccinated. Chickenpox can be an extremely serious disease in adults.

The vaccine can be given from the age of 1 year and two doses are required at least 4 weeks apart.  Chickenpox vaccination is not available on the NHS as part of the childhood schedule; however Germany, Australia and USA include it in their routine childhood vaccinations. If your child has just had the MMR then you must wait 4 weeks before they receive the Chickenpox jab. It can be used to prevent chickenpox developing if exposure to virus from another person (first spot) has been within the last 5 days. We administer vaccines supplied by GSK or Sanofi Pasteur. Evidence of vaccination, or indeed the disease, is needed for schooling in much of the United States – we can provide this after the full course of vaccinations.
