hi doctor,

My kid is 21 month old now. I have got my baby varicella in 18th month by other pediatrician. And hepatitis A which has only one dose in 20th month. And my pediatrician in native suggested that I have to get done 2nd dose of varicella now.
Is that okay if I get it done now. Because in many vaccination charts I have seen varicella will be given at the age of 3 or 4 years. Please suggest

Hello ma’am Then you please talk to your paediatrician clearly about it as what you have read you can tell your doctor that is it fine if you get it done at the age of three or four years and not now but if your doctor says it is fine to get it done now also then go ahead with it there is nothing to be worried about for the same
