A. The chickenpox (varicella) vaccination is typically administered as part of the childhood immunization schedule. Here’s the general recommendation for the chickenpox vaccine: Chickenpox Vaccination Schedule 1. First Dose: Administered between 12 to 15 months of age. 2. Second Dose: Administered between 4 to 6 years of age. This second dose is often given before a child enters school. Catch-Up Vaccination If a child has missed the vaccination, it can be given at any age. The following recommendations apply for catch-up vaccination: For children aged 1 to 12 years, two doses should be given, with the second dose administered at least 3 months after the first dose. For adolescents and adults (over 13 years old) who have never had chickenpox or the vaccine, two doses should be given, spaced at least 28 days apart. Importance of Vaccination The chickenpox vaccine is effective in preventing chickenpox and its complications, which can include severe skin infections, pneumonia, and hospitalization. Vaccination also helps reduce the spread of the virus within the community. Consult Your Pediatrician It’s always best to consult with your child’s pediatrician regarding vaccinations, as they can provide personalized advice based on your child’s health history and any specific local guidelines.
