Patients of all ages get the same 0.5 ml dose of chickenpox vaccine. If your child got a different dose, follow up care (in particular, reinection) will depend on if the dose was too high or too low. Find out what dose your child received, then call your local Department of Health vaccination department or your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.

Should you get chickenpox vaccine if you already had the disease?

My Daughter age 9 has Chickenpox at the moment and she has been immunised against it, as far as i am aware, the Vaccine does not prevent you from getting the disease at all it just helps to lessen the severity!! My daughter has not got a very bad case of it at all, she was quite unwell for the first day with a mild fever and a few blisters popping up but the next day she was running around like nothing was wrong, her biggest complaint has been that she is itchy, but oatmeal in the bath worked the best in this case!!


Why would you have no immunity to chickenpox when you had as a child?

A case of chickenpox in childhood normally confers lifelong immunity, regardless of the severity of the case. The cellular immunity that prevents chickenpox can decline with time due to age or from immunosuppression from medications or health conditions. But I wonder if you might be asking why a blood test for chickenpox antibodies would be negative if you had chickenpox as a child. There are two possible explanations. One is that the original diagnosis of chickenpox was wrong. The other is that you have a false negative test; this can happen sometimes even when you are still immune. In either case, a vaccine for chickenpox may be a good choice. Talk with your healthcare provider about what makes sense give your medical history.


What are the most common causes of vaccine compromise?

The most common causes of vaccine compromise include improper storage and handling, which can lead to loss of potency, as well as expiration of the vaccine before use. Additionally, administering the vaccine incorrectly, such as via the wrong route or dosage, can also compromise its effectiveness. Lastly, individual factors such as immunosuppression or certain medical conditions may affect a person's response to vaccination.
