Protect Yourself from Chickenpox (Varicella)

Chickenpox is highly contagious and can lead to serious complications—but it’s preventable. Kinney Drugs offers the CDC-recommended varicella vaccine to help you and your family stay healthy and protected.

What Is Varicella?

Varicella, also known as chickenpox, causes an itchy rash, fever, tiredness, and headache.
It can lead to pneumonia, skin infections, and swelling of the brain or spinal cord.
Chickenpox is especially dangerous for infants, adults, pregnant individuals, and those with weakened immune systems.

The vaccine is recommended for:
- Children starting at 12–15 months, with a second dose at 4–6 years.
- Older children, teens, and adults who are not immune to chickenpox.
- Recommended by the CDC for lifelong protection.
