• Can I take a chickenpox vaccine at 30 years of age?

I am 30 years old and a mother of a 4 year old. I have never got chicken pox but I am worried if my son gets it I will have the infection too. Should I get a vaccine as well?

Yes, you can get chickenpox (varicella) vaccine if you don’t have evidence of immunity to it. It’s usually given in two doses 4-8 weeks apart.
