A chickenpox vaccine is being rolled out on the NHS for the first time. Along with the MMR jab which protects against measles, mumps, and rubella, it's a combo that's long been available to children in other countries. The UK rollout was recommended by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) in 2023, and in England alone hundreds of thousands of kids will be eligible from today. #chickenpox #vaccination #nhs SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: / skynews Follow us on Twitter: / skynews Like us on Facebook: / skynews Follow us on Instagram: / skynews Follow us on TikTok: / skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-n...
