How can we prevent chickenpox when someone in our home has it? And regarding the doses of chickenpox vaccine, one dose of the chickenpox vaccine is enough OR do we need to take 2 doses if we never had a chickenpox in the past?

2 doses of vaccine  are required. If someone in your household has chickenpox, you can help stop the virus spreading by wiping any objects or surfaces with a sterilising solution and making sure that any infected clothing or bedding is washed regularly.
