Private chickenpox vaccination in Teddington—safe and effective protection for children and adults.
What Is Chickenpox and Why Vaccinate?
Chickenpox is a highly contagious infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It’s commonly associated with childhood but can also affect adults—sometimes with more severe symptoms and complications. While chickenpox is often mild in children, it can lead to issues such as skin infections, pneumonia, or even shingles later in life.
Vaccination is a safe and effective way to prevent chickenpox and its potential complications. The Varicella vaccine is especially recommended for people who have not had chickenpox and are in contact with vulnerable people, such as newborns, pregnant women, or people with weakened immune systems.
