answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/03/2022 answer text <p>Chickenpox is not a notifiable infection in England. In the United Kingdom, varicella immunisation is only recommended to protect those people who are at most risk of serious illness. Individuals who are in regular or close contact with those at highest risk are immunised, including non-immune healthcare workers and close household contacts of immunocompromised individuals, such as the siblings of a child with leukaemia or a child whose parent is undergoing chemotherapy. Varicella immunisation can also be administered to healthcare workers, laboratory staff and those in contact with immunocompromised patients.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 31/03/2022 13:17:36 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
