About Course
Chickenpox is common and usually mild in children, but it can be serious for newborn babies, pregnant people and anyone with a weakened immune system. This course covers the signs and stages of chickenpox, how long it is infectious, when to stay away, safe home care, when to get urgent help, and the NHS chickenpox (MMRV) vaccine.
