Chickenpox vaccine for 1 year old

Has anyone took their child for the chickenpox vaccine privately and think it's worth getting? DS is 13 months and slots have became available at my local boots store, it's quite a big expense at £140 but we are happy to pay if it's really going to be worth it. DS is a healthy 1 year old with no health conditions. Just looking for others experiences and advice.

our DC are vaccinated. It’s a standard vaccination in Australia.

Off top[c but over 65's are offered the vaccine.

Not routinely they're not.
The over 70's - aged 80 are offered the shingles vaccine.

All vaccinated now, took him for his second dose on Friday and he was absolutely fine. Feel much better knowing he's had it.
