Chickenpox Vaccination
Private chickenpox (varicella) vaccination for children and adults who haven't had chickenpox.
Chickenpox (Varicella) Vaccination in Battersea
Chickenpox is usually thought of as a mild childhood illness — but it can mean a miserable week or two off school or work, and it can be significantly more serious in adults, pregnant women and people with weakened immunity.
The chickenpox vaccine is a safe, effective way to avoid it altogether. It’s given as a two-dose course and is suitable for most children and for adults who have never had chickenpox.
Why Families Choose the Chickenpox Vaccine
- Avoid the itching, discomfort and scarring of a full-blown infection
- No lost weeks of school, nursery or work
- Protection for households with vulnerable or immunocompromised members
- Adults escape what is often a much nastier illness than in childhood
What to Expect
A quick appointment at our Battersea centre: a short suitability check with our clinician, the injection itself (a moment’s work), and a follow-up booking for the second dose. Most people have no more than a slightly sore arm afterwards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who should consider the chickenpox vaccine?
It's popular for children who haven't yet had chickenpox, and for adults who missed it in childhood — chickenpox tends to be more unpleasant the older you are. It's also worth considering for those in close contact with vulnerable people.
How many doses are needed?
The course is two doses, spaced several weeks apart. We'll schedule both appointments for you.
Is the chickenpox vaccine available on the NHS?
The NHS currently offers it only in limited circumstances, which is why many families choose to have it privately. Our clinician can advise on your situation.
This service includes your consultation, the vaccine or product itself, administration and any associated documentation — so our 20% introductory offer does not apply here.
