What is chickenpox?
Chickenpox (caused by the varicella-zoster virus) is highly contagious and spreads through coughing, sneezing, or contact with the fluid from its characteristic blisters.
Typical symptoms include:
- Itchy, blistering rash
- Fever
- Fatigue or irritability
- Loss of appetite
In most children, the illness is mild, but for adults, pregnant women, or people with weakened immune systems, chickenpox can lead to serious complications such as:
- Pneumonia
- Skin infections
- Brain inflammation (encephalitis)
- Hospitalisation

How the chickenpox vaccinations in Huddersfield works

It is given in two doses:

- Usually injected into the upper arm or thigh
Once both doses are completed, the vaccine offers long-lasting protection — with most people gaining full immunity.

How long does the vaccine provide protection?
Two doses offer long-lasting protection in most individuals. A booster is not usually required.
Can my child still get chickenpox after the vaccine?
In rare cases, vaccinated individuals can still get chickenpox — but symptoms are usually much milder.
