Question
When should newborns in the neonatal department be vaccinated against chickenpox?
Answer
The general vaccination time for the chickenpox vaccine is between 1 and 1.5 years old. Whether through vaccination or natural infection with the chickenpox virus, lifelong immunity can be obtained. However, for premature infants or children with weak constitutions, it may be necessary to have a doctor assess and recommend the most suitable vaccination time. If the child experiences any discomfort or symptoms suspected of chickenpox, it is advisable to consult a doctor promptly.
