Private chickenpox vaccination for children and adults at Trustwell Clinic in Stockport. We have plenty of experience vaccinating children and aim to make appointments calm, reassuring and as smooth as possible. Before paying privately, check whether your child may be eligible through the NHS.

Can My Child Get the Chickenpox Vaccine on the NHS?

The NHS introduced chickenpox vaccination into the routine childhood programme in England in January 2026.
  • Born on or after 1 January 2020: your child may be eligible through the NHS depending on age and vaccination history.
  • Born before 1 January 2020: chickenpox vaccination is not routinely included in the NHS childhood programme, although some people may qualify in specific medical or household circumstances.
Check with your GP first

We recommend contacting your GP surgery before booking privately if you think your child may be eligible.

About the Chickenpox Vaccine

Chickenpox, also called varicella, is a highly infectious illness. It is usually mild in children, but complications can occur and it can be more serious for babies, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems. Private chickenpox vaccination uses a varicella-containing vaccine. A private course commonly involves two doses, depending on age, vaccination history and clinical assessment.
