![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Breakthrough chickenpox occurs when people who are immunised against chickenpox get the disease. Research shows that two doses of chickenpox vaccine in children provides increased protection and reduces the risk of 'breakthrough' chickenpox in children under 14 years of age. Vaccination against chickenpox requires one dose to help protect against serious complications associated with chickenpox and to protect from developing shingles later in life. Vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella requires two doses of vaccine. Immunisation against these four diseases can be given in the form the MMRV combination vaccine, or the MMR combination vaccine and a single vaccine for chickenpox, depending on your age. The Immunise Australia Program External Link provides immunisations against measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (chickenpox). ![]()
