Chickenpox symptoms, treatment and prevention

Chickenpox is a contagious infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It is usually mild in children but can be more serious in adults, pregnancy, newborn babies and people with weakened immune systems.

What to watch for

Symptoms usually include an itchy blister-like rash, fever, tiredness and feeling generally unwell.

Treatment overview

Most people need symptom care such as fluids, rest, itch relief and fever control.

Prevention planning

Chickenpox vaccination can help prevent infection in people who are suitable and not already immune.

What the condition is expand_more

Preventative measures expand_more
  • Chickenpox vaccination can help prevent infection in people who are suitable and not already immune.
  • People with chickenpox should avoid contact with pregnant people, newborn babies and immune-suppressed people until spots crust over.

Before your vaccine appointment expand_more
  • Tell the pharmacist if you have had chickenpox, shingles or a previous varicella vaccine.
  • Mention pregnancy, planned pregnancy, immune suppression or close contact with vulnerable people.
