Varicella Zoster, also known as chickenpox, is a common viral infection usually caught in childhood. It’s highly contagious and is spread through coughing, sneezing, and direct contact.

​

High Trees Clinic offers Chickenpox Vaccination Service is available to those seeking protection from the chickenpox virus, including those who are eligible through the NHS but choose a private vaccination service.

​

If our Chickenpox Vaccination Service is suitable, you will receive two vaccinations at a minimum of six weeks apart. If you, or your child, had a first dose of chickenpox vaccination at a different provider, you can still have your second dose at High Trees Clinic, providing you meet all the eligibility criteria for the High Trees Clinic service.

​

• The service is suitable for both adults and children aged between one and 65 years inclusive at the time of the first vaccination. The service is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, anyone with a weakened immune system, or anyone who has had an allergic reaction to any previous vaccination or for anyone who has received the MMR vaccine in the previous four weeks.
