Chickenpox (Varicella) Immunisation Clinic

Chickenpox is a highly contagious viral infection that causes an itchy, blister-like rash. While often a standard childhood illness, it can cause severe health complications in adults, pregnant individuals, and those with compromised immune systems. Chana Chemist offers a comprehensive preventative immunization service.

Our Vaccination Protocols

We provide two separate pathways to accommodate families and high-risk individuals safely:

  • Private Two-Dose Course: Available for children and adults who want to avoid the discomfort of the virus and protect against severe adult cases or family transmission. This is a highly effective option as chickenpox is not part of the routine UK childhood vaccination schedule.
  • NHS Special Exceptions: Provided free of charge strictly to individuals who are in close regular contact with severely immunosuppressed patients, ensuring specialized protective rings of immunity.

Full Course Administration

The chickenpox vaccine requires a full course of two distinct doses, spaced several weeks apart, to secure maximum long-term clinical protection. Our clinical pharmacists manage the scheduling of both dates to guarantee your course is completed accurately and effectively.

Have a question about our Chickenpox Vaccination?

Find clear, expert guidance from our clinical team on eligibility, what to expect, and how we support your health journey.

How many doses of the chickenpox vaccine are required?

The chickenpox immunization requires exactly two doses to deliver full, long-term protection. The second dose is normally scheduled between 4 to 8 weeks after the initial injection, depending on the patient's age and clinical profile.

At what age can a child receive the private chickenpox vaccine?

Our private chickenpox vaccination service can safely be administered to children starting from 12 months of age upward. It is an excellent choice for parents looking to protect their children prior to entering nurseries or primary schools.

Can adults get chickenpox if they were vaccinated?

No vaccine is 100% effective, but the chickenpox vaccine provides excellent protection. If a vaccinated individual does happen to contract the virus later in life, the symptoms are typically incredibly mild, with fewer spots, lower fevers, and a much faster recovery period.

I honestly cannot speak highly enough of this pharmacy. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated with genuine kindness, patience, and respect. The staff go out of their way to make you feel seen, listened to, and cared for, which is something you don’t always find in busy healthcare settings.

I visited for my flu vaccine. Kati was extremely kind and patient. It was honestly the most painless injection I’ve ever had — she did it so gently that I barely felt anything, and there was no bruising afterwards at all. She even checked my blood pressure afterwards and gave me some great lifestyle advice. Highly recommend her! 🌟

I just wanted to share a wonderful experience I had at this pharmacy. While I was waiting for my prescription, I noticed a scale to check my weight, but it only accepted cash and I didn’t have any. One of the staff members, a very kind and smiling man named Ahmed, saw me and kindly paid for me from his own pocket.It’s been a long time since this happened, but I’ve never forgotten his kindness. He is truly one of the most polite and genuine people I’ve ever met.

Lovely service at Chana pharmacy, Ladbroke Gove. The nurse was kind, gentle, and so reassuring when my BP went high before the flu jab. She truly has a beautiful heart. I didn't catch her name, but she's a young nurse with long hair-thank you again!

I had a great experience with Marzieh, who was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and kind throughout my visit. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions patiently, and made sure I felt confident about my medication. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated and professional—her warm and caring attitude really stood out. I truly appreciate the high level of service she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of expert pharmacy care.
