vaccinating against chickenpox

dd is almost 2 and hasn't had the dreaded pox yet. I'd like to have her vaccinated (privately as I know the NHS doesn't offer it yet) does anyone know anywhere in S Yorks/Notts/Derbys where I can get this done?

Please no debate about whether this is the right thing to do or the rights and wrongs of vaccinating I have made my decision but can't find anywhere to go

No I don't. 2 is very young to have caught chickenpox tbh. Most catch it around school age. One of the illnesses that does the rounds every spring I think! :) Personally, I would prefer them to be a bit older than 2. I think there's some research that shows they are more likely to catch it a second time if they catch when they are very young as well.

your GP practice may be able to do it privately for you or they will know where you can get it locally
