At Asclepius Healthcare Clinic (AHC), we offer the Varicella (Chickenpox) Vaccination, a safe and effective way to protect yourself and your family from chickenpox, a highly contagious viral infection that can cause uncomfortable rashes, fever, and, in some cases, serious complications.
The varicella vaccine provides long-lasting immunity against chickenpox, preventing both the development of the disease and its associated complications, such as bacterial infections, pneumonia, and encephalitis.
The varicella vaccine is recommended for children, adults who have never had chickenpox, and individuals who have not been vaccinated. It’s especially important for individuals in close contact with newborns, pregnant women, and immunocompromised individuals, who are more vulnerable to complications.
The varicella vaccine not only prevents chickenpox, but also reduces the risk of developing shingles (herpes zoster) later in life, a painful condition caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus.
The varicella vaccination is given in a single dose for children aged 12 months to 12 years and two doses for individuals 13 years and older. The vaccine is quick, simple, and requires only a minimal visit to the clinic.
Widespread vaccination reduces the spread of chickenpox in the community, helping to protect those who are unable to be vaccinated, such as infants and individuals with certain medical conditions.
