Protect Your Child with the Chickenpox Vaccine!Chickenpox is a common childhood illness that can cause itchy spots, fever, and discomfort. Most children recover at home, but it can sometimes lead to complications, especially in babies, pregnant women, or people with weakened immune systems.

• It is usually offered to children who have not had chickenpox, particularly those at higher risk.
• Two doses are recommended for full protection.
Where to get it:• Your GP surgery can advise and administer the vaccine.
• Speak to your GP if you are unsure whether your child needs it.
