Importance of vaccination

CHICKENPOX is a common childhood disease. It is usually mild but in rare cases, it can be serious, especially in young infants and adults.
The virus causes rashes, itching, fever, and tiredness.

It can lead to severe skin infection, scars, pneumonia, brain damage or death. A person who has had chickenpox can get a painful rash called shingles many years later.

Most people who go for chickenpox vaccination will not contract the disease. Even if they do, it is usually very mild. They will have fewer spots, are less likely to have a fever, and will recover faster.
