Chickenpox immunisation for children?

Chickenpox immunisation for children?

They say that immunisation could save the lives of those who develop very serious complications as a result of the common disease. However, it is unlikely that any such initiative would be reintroduced until at least 2009, the department said. Consultant paediatrician Dr Mark Jones said that the department’s priority was currently the introduction of the revolutionary anti-cancer HPV vaccine. From September next year all 12-year-old girls will be offered the jab, which protects against 70 per cent of viruses which cause cervical cancer. It is expected that immunisation will halve the number of deaths from the cervical cancer.
