Varicella, or the chicken pox, spreads easily through the air or physical contact. But thanks to the varicella vaccine, chicken pox is now largely avoidable.
It is recommended that children receive two doses of the varicella vaccine, the first at 12-15 months, and the second at 4-6 years. This vaccine teaches the immune system to resist the virus, keeping kids, classmates, and communities healthier. Learn more or talk with your pediatrician if you have any questions.
