Children's Vaccinations
During the vaccination appointment the doctor will provide you with all the information and details including possible side effects of the vaccination, in addition to giving you an opportunity to ask any questions that you may have.
Please be aware that if your child has any allergies it is important to let us know at the time of booking so we can ensure the vaccination is suitable.

It may also be given to persons who have no history of chickenpox, but who have been exposed to someone who has chickenpox.
Vaccination within three days of exposure may help prevent chickenpox or reduce the severity of disease, resulting in fewer skin lesions and shorter duration of illness. In addition, there is limited information that being vaccinated up to five days after exposure may reduce disease severity.
