Q.

Hello Doctor. My son is 23 months old. Can I get him immunized for 2nd Dose of Chickenpox now?. The first dose was administered to him at 15 months of age

A. 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 andx the second dosage x
