Getting vaccinated against chickenpox is a simple and effective way to protect yourself or your child. Here’s what you need to know before your appointment:

Before Your Vaccine:

• Check Your Eligibility:

• Recommended for children, teens, and adults who have never had chickenpox.

• If you are pregnant, immunocompromised, or have allergies to vaccine ingredients, consult your doctor first.

• Stay Healthy:

• If you have a fever or are feeling unwell, reschedule your vaccination.

• Review Your Vaccination History:

• If unsure about previous vaccination or past infection, check with your doctor.

• Adults may need a blood test to confirm immunity.

• Wear Comfortable Clothing:

• Choose an outfit that allows easy access to your upper arm for the injection.

After Your Vaccine:

• Expect Mild Side Effects:

• Redness, swelling, or soreness at the injection site.

• Possible mild fever—these side effects typically go away within a few days.

• Monitor for Allergic Reactions:

• Severe reactions are rare but seek medical help if you experience difficulty breathing, dizziness, or swelling.

• Follow Up for the Second Dose:

• If you’re 13 or older, you’ll need a second dose 4 to 8 weeks after the first for full protection.
