Chicken pox vaccine

Hi my son is starting pre-school in September and I have a baby on the way due around the same time so I would like him to be protected against chickenpox, for himself and for the baby. Just wanted to know what others experiences have been with the vaccine.

Thanks.

It's 2 jabs a month apart, easy to book at a local pharmacy, no issues at all, no reaction or even a mark on the leg! SO worth it when every other child in the nursery class caught chicken pox and some were really very ill with it.

No side effects for either of mine, just a matter of booking it and getting it done.
