Chicken pox vaccination and MMR timings

[Pleasedontsayyouloveme]

Hello

For anyone who has got or plans to get their baby vaccinated for chicken pox, which vaccine did they have and how was it timed with their MMR?

I think one chicken pox vaccine is routinely done from 9 months the other from 12 months. I'm not sure if there is logically better one to go for based on MMR timings etc and haven't found much in the way of opinions, only information leaflets.

When DS had his CP vaccine they wanted him to be a minimum of 12 months and to have it a month apart from the MMR so he had the MMR at 12 months and the first dose of the CP vaccine at 13 months

The chicken pox vaccination isn't given as a routine vaccination in the UK. You have to pay for it privately.

CP vaccines aren't routinely done in England, you will need to pay privately. There are two jabs, spaced 8-12 weeks apart I think - can't quite remember. DS had his first at 14 months

The CP vaccine has to be 4 weeks apart from the MMR and the 2 doses must be a minimum 4 weeks apart from each other.
My daughter had CP 1 at 12 months, MMR at 13 months and CP 2 at 14 months.

They're usually done 4 weeks apart. DS had his at 20/21months. His MMR was done routinely at 12months.
