To think the chicken pox vaccine should be available on the NHS

Why isn’t it on the NHS?

My dds had their vacerella (sp?) vaccines when we lived in Oz. We came back to the uk and both still caught it, but only mildly.

The reason most of the western world has it is that most of the western world spends a lot more on healthcare than we do. I consistently vote for parties that want to spend more on the NHS. I presume everyone else who wants this vaccine on the NHS does the same?
