Chickenpox is a highly contagious viral infection that causes itchy rashes, blisters, fever, and fatigue. While often mild in children, it can lead to serious complications in adults, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems. At Chelsfield Pharmacy, we offer a safe and effective chickenpox vaccination service to protect you and your loved ones.
Understanding Chickenpox
Chickenpox is a highly contagious infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV). It primarily affects children but can also occur in adults who have never been exposed to the virus. The infection typically causes itchy red spots, fluid-filled blisters, fever, and fatigue, lasting around 7 to 10 days.
While chickenpox is usually mild in children, it can lead to serious complications in adults, pregnant women, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Potential risks include pneumonia, brain inflammation (encephalitis), bacterial skin infections, and shingles later in life.
Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent chickenpox, reduce its severity, and protect against complications. At Chelsfield Pharmacy, we offer a safe and reliable chickenpox vaccination service, ensuring long-term immunity and peace of mind.
