Chickenpox Vaccination in Kuching
Chickenpox, caused by the varicella-zoster virus, is a highly contagious disease that can lead to uncomfortable symptoms and potential complications. At Klinik Uptown Metrocity in Kuching, we are committed to protecting our community by offering safe and effective chickenpox vaccinations.
What is Chickenpox?
Chickenpox is an infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus. Symptoms typically include:
- Fever
- Itchy rash
- Fluid-filled blisters
While chickenpox is often mild in children, it can lead to severe complications, especially in infants, adolescents, and adults.
Benefits of Chickenpox Vaccination
The varicella (chickenpox) vaccine works by exposing the immune system to a weakened form of the virus, stimulating the production of antibodies that protect against chickenpox.
Vaccination significantly reduces the risk of contracting the disease and can lessen the severity of symptoms if contracted.
By vaccinating your child, you also help prevent the spread of the virus to others.
Who Should Get This Vaccine?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends routine varicella vaccination for:
- Children between 12-15 months, with a booster at 4-6 years
- Older children, adolescents, and adults who have not been vaccinated or had chickenpox
- Certain high-risk groups, such as healthcare workers and those with weakened immune systems, may require special consideration.
Our doctors will provide personalised recommendations based on your child’s needs.
