Chickenpox and vaccines

Chickenpox is on the rise in the UK. Not only does this impact on children who may suffer from the condition, it also creates difficulties for immune-supressed and vulnerable peers.

It’s a common infection in children that spreads easily. While it’s usually mild, it can lead to serious complications which need hospitalisation, including chest infections and fits.

All young children are now eligible for vaccination. The vaccine will be combined with the existing MMR jab (given at 12 and 18 months of age), which already helps protect against measles, mumps and rubella. Children up to the age of six can catch up on doses when invited.

Book with us today.
