Chickenpox Vaccination

The chickenpox vaccine helps protect against chickenpox. It’s only available on the NHS to people in close contact with someone who has a higher risk of getting seriously ill from chickenpox.  

Chickenpox is a common infection that spreads easily and mostly affects children. It’s highly contagious and is spread through coughing, sneezing and direct contact. It usually gets better on its own after 1 to 2 weeks without needing to see a GP, but can be serious in some people. 

Our private Chickenpox vaccination service is available for adults and children from 12 months. A full course consists of two vaccinations given 4 to 8 weeks apart. If you, or your child, have had a first dose of a chickenpox vaccine from somewhere else, you can still have your second dose with us, providing you meet the eligibility criteria. 

– 2 doses required  
– £75 per dose
