The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that children receive two doses of the varicella (chickenpox) vaccine. The first dose is given at 12 to 15 months of age, and the second dose should be given at 4 to 6 years of age. This schedule ensures optimal protection against chickenpox.
