How Our Chickenpox Vaccine Service Works

You’ll start with a free consultation to check your immunity status and medical history. We review any past chickenpox exposure and confirm whether you need the vaccine.

For those needing vaccination, we follow the standard schedule of two doses, typically four to eight weeks apart. This provides up to 75 percent protection against chickenpox and nearly 100 percent protection against severe illness.

Each shot is given subcutaneously by one of our qualified pharmacists. We observe you for 20 minutes afterwards for any rare reactions. Your second dose is booked automatically to complete your protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fulham Palace Pharmacy

  • What is the chickenpox vaccine and who needs it?

    The vaccine uses a weakened varicella-zoster virus to train your immune system against chickenpox. The NHS offers it to those who live or work with vulnerable people. If you’ve never had chickenpox or are unsure of your immunity, you can get it privately at our pharmacy.

  • How many doses are required and when?

    You need two doses for full protection. For adults and older children, doses are given four to eight weeks apart. This schedule ensures strong immunity against both mild and severe forms of chickenpox.

  • Is the vaccine safe for pregnant women or those planning pregnancy?

    The chickenpox vaccine is not given during pregnancy. If you plan to become pregnant, get vaccinated and then wait at least one month before conceiving. This ensures you have full protection without risk to your baby.

  • Can children over 12 months get vaccinated here?

    Yes. While NHS childhood programmes start at 12 months, we offer private vaccination for any child over 12 months who needs protection, especially if they live with at-risk family members.

  • What should I do if I miss my second dose appointment?

    Contact us as soon as possible. We’ll reschedule your second dose at the best interval. Late administration still boosts your immunity effectively.

  • Can I catch chickenpox from the vaccine?

    No. The vaccine contains a weakened virus that does not cause full-blown chickenpox. Some people may get a mild rash, but this is normal and resolves quickly.
