Chicken pox vaccination
My question is I have taken a chicken pox vaccination 1st dose on 30th November 2018,
Doctor had asked me to take 2nd dose after some weeks but I was unable to. But now I want to complete the dosage by taking 2nd dose of vaccination, is it too late now since it's almost 1yr since I had taken the 1st one? What is the solution if it's too late

You can just take one more vaccine, need not repeat the whole schedule again. Any vaccine is meant to improve the active antibodies after a vaccine is given. It is ok even if you take just one vaccine now after 1 year which will still work as a booster for the first dose already taken.
