Chickenpox Vaccination in Sunderland FAQs.

Who can have the chickenpox vaccination?+

It is often suitable for people who have not had chickenpox before and would like protection. We will ask a few questions to check it is right for you or your child.

What happens at the appointment?+

You will be asked about general health, allergies and previous chickenpox history, then the vaccine can be given if suitable. You will also get clear aftercare advice.

Do I need to bring anything with me?+

Bring a list of any regular medicines and let us know about any allergies or past vaccine reactions. For children, it can help to bring their red book if you have it.

Many people only get mild, short-lived effects such as a sore arm or feeling a bit tired. You will be told what is common and what would need extra advice.

Can my child go to nursery or school afterwards?+

In most cases normal activities can continue, but it depends on how your child feels and any reactions afterwards. You will be given practical guidance tailored to your situation.

Will I need more than one dose?+

Some people may need a course rather than a single dose, depending on age and circumstances. We will explain what is recommended for you and help you plan the timing.
