Chickenpox vaccine is a vaccine against varicella zoster virus infection, usually given once. The interval between the two vaccines is at least 4 weeks. In addition, influenza vaccine and chickenpox vaccine are live vaccines, and the vaccination site is the deltoid muscle of the upper arm.

Therefore, it is recommended to vaccinate influenza vaccine and chickenpox vaccine separately to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine. For specific vaccination time and method, consult your local vaccination agency or doctor. For special groups, such as pregnant women, children, the elderly, people with underlying diseases, etc., consult doctors before vaccination, and select appropriate vaccines and vaccination time according to individual circumstances.
