Chicken pox vaccination?

Thinking of paying for the chicken pox vaccination for DD who has just turned one. Has any MNs had it for their DC?
My main concern is I have read it can increase their chances of getting shingles later on in life is this correct?
I have read the NHS reason for not doing it. I personally believe the real reason is money. I don't understand why other countries like Germany, US would do it otherwise.
Just wondered if their are any GPs/doctors/nurses who could give me their professional opinion not influenced by NHS decision.
The cost it is expensive for us but could afford it so not letting that be a factor. Thanks
