Chickenpox is common. It is a viral infection which is highly contagious. It is caught through coughing and sneezing and close contact with those who have contracted chickenpox.

Symptoms of chicken pox can worsen with age.

Healthcare workers should be protected and those people who work in laboratories.

If you have not had chicken pox previously, and you are in regular contact with someone who would be at risk of being seriously poorly if they got chicken pox then you should be wise and immunise against chicken pox.

We can offer you a blood test at MUMS to check if you are immune to chicken pox if you are unsure as to whether you have had chicken pox before.

The NHS only offers this vaccine if you are in a vulnerable group or at risk.

We can offer chickenpox vaccine to those at risk and anyone who wishes to be vaccinated.

We advise that you do not have the vaccine if you are breastfeeding, have low immunity or have suffered an allergic reaction when vaccinated previously.

The vaccine is given into the upper arm.

This vaccine is not suitable for children aged under one year.

We offer the vaccine 6 days per week, have ample parking and excellent patient reviews.
