Things to remember
Chicken Pox is very common in children, so don’t be too alarmed.

You don’t necessarily need to see your GP if your child has Chicken Pox.

If you are pregnant you should be aware of the risks of catching Chicken Pox from your child

If you do get chickenpox when you're pregnant, there's a small risk of your baby being very ill when it's born.

Go to 111.nhs.uk or call 111 if you have not had chickenpox before and you've been near someone with it.
