Chickenpox vaccine

[toastofthetown]

I've been considering the chickenpox vaccine for myself, since I'm unsure if I had chickenpox as a child and want to protect myself from it as an adult. I've been trying to search to see if there needs to be specific waiting period between that and the covid booster but I can't find anything. The brochure only mentions other childhood vaccines. Does anyone know if there is a specific time interval between the two vaccines? And has anyone had the vaccine and how was it for you?

I had a blood test for previous chicken pox infection when I was pregnant. My Mum said my siblings had it when I was a baby, but I hadn't had it. Turned out I must have had really mild cases of chicken pox and didn't need the vaccine. This was all NHS.

I didn't have chickenpox as a child, and unfortunately was contacted by the hospital 4 days after giving birth to DC1 as one of the student midwives who was with me for an entire shift had come down with Shingles. I was given the vaccine, as was DD. All 3 of mine had chickenpox as young DC, but I never caught it from them and haven't from subsequent grandchildren.

I must admit that I do live in fear of contracting Shingles now I'm in my early 50s, and diabetic as I get nerve issues as it is.
