Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy2 years agoA. yes can do so
chicken pox vaccine is given (first dose) after completion of 15 months of age and the second dosage can be taken anytime after 3 months of the first dosage.
also chicken pox vaccine can be given at any age to the child so if you have missed the vaccine earlier then you can give now also and the doctor will tell you what would be the spacing between first dosage and the second dosage
