          Why get vaccinated?

          Varicella vaccine can prevent varicella.

          Varicella, also called "chickenpox," causes an itchy rash that usually lasts about a week. It can also cause fever, tiredness, loss of appetite, and headache. It can lead to skin infections, pneumonia, inflammation of the blood vessels, swelling of the brain and/or spinal cord covering, and infections of the bloodstream, bone, or joints.

          Some people who get chickenpox get a painful rash called "shingles" (also known as herpes zoster) years later.

          Chickenpox is usually mild, but it can be serious in infants under 12 months of age, adolescents, adults, pregnant people, and people with a weakened immune system.

          Dangers of chickenpox vaccine

          Some people get so sick that they need to be hospitalized. It doesn't happen often, but people can die from chickenpox.

          Most people who are vaccinated with 2 doses of varicella vaccine will be protected for life.
