The varicella vaccine is given by injection when kids are between 12 and 15 months old. They receive a booster shot for further protection at 4 to 6 years of age. Kids who are older than 6 but younger than 13 who have not had chickenpox also may receive the vaccine, with the two doses given at least 3 months apart.
The vaccine is completely safe.

since chicken pox is a viral disease if u once get infected child will remain resistant thorough out the life means u will nvr had a second attack of chicken pox in life
