I DONT KNOW! How many doses of this vaccine..... URGENT???!?!?!?!?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

The Varicella (Chicken Pox) vaccine is given in two doses. One dose per vaccination. Normally the vaccine is given in childhood with the first dose given at 12-15 months and the second dose given at 4-6 years. Adolescents or adults who have not had the disease and have not been vaccinated may get the vaccination at any time. The minimal interval between the first dose and the second dose is four weeks.

Why would you put two doses in one vaccine?


Well I'm asking the question so you could think to yourself "Hmmm it wouldn't really make sense for two to be in there."

Also, since the question doesn't make perfect sense I was also asking in order to clarify the situation.

Also why would someone NEED two doses at one time?


P.S. Being a snatch doesn't get you answers.

Educate before you vaccinate....

Varicella vaccine often comes in pre-filled syringes which are one dose each. If it is a multi-dose vial, it will say on the side of the package something like 0.5 ml per dose
