|August 29, 2025
A VACCINE for chickenpox will be rolled out on the NHS in England from January, officials have announced.
-
The jab, which currently costs around £150 at private clinics and pharmacies, will form part of a new combined immunisation on the childhood vaccination programme.
Ministers hope it will not only protect some youngsters from severe complications from the virus, but also prevent parents taking time off work to look after their children.
