Could you please suggest a preventive medicine or vaccination for chickenpox?

Asked by Female, 25 · 28 days ago

The best way to prevent chickenpox is through vaccination. The Varicella (chickenpox) vaccine is safe and effective and is usually given in two doses for full protection. It is recommended for children and for adults who have never had chickenpox or the vaccine. Please consult your healthcare provider to check your vaccination status and suitability for the vaccine.
