Babies should be 申し込む／申し出d a chickenpox ワクチン, 政府 助言者s 支配するd today.

Under a 大規模な 提案するd shake-up of the NHS childhood immunisation calendar, children would routinely be 申し込む／申し出d two doses when they are 12 and 18 months.

Health 専門家s have also recommended 大臣s 乗る，着手する on a 'catch-up' （選挙などの）運動をする for up to 7million toddlers and older kids.?

Department of Health bosses will now consider the 推薦s ― which health 長，指導者s hope will make chickenpox 'a problem of the past' ― before a final 決定／判定勝ち（する） is made.

As of now, parents wanting their child to be vaccinated against chickenpox have to 支払う／賃金 up to £150 個人として.?Some throw 'parties' so their kids get 感染させるd and build-up some 免疫.

Every year, around 20 people die 予定 to chickenpox in the UK. Hundreds of babies are hospitalised 予定 to 厳しい symptoms.?

Data 示唆するs the jab, which would be 申し込む／申し出d in two doses at 12 and 18 months, would 削除する chickenpox 伝達／伝染 and 妨げる most 厳しい 事例／患者s in children, によれば the 共同の 委員会 on ワクチン接種 and Immunisation (JCVI)

Chickenpox is 原因（となる）d by a vir us called varicella-zoster, and it is 普通は a 穏やかな and 比較して 害のない illness that 原因（となる）s a tell-tale 無分別な. Each 感染させるd person is thought to pass the ウイルス on to 10 other people, making it more contagious than the ありふれた 冷淡な and flu, which each 感染させるd person gives to two others. 一方／合間, 熟考する／考慮するs 示唆する each measles 感染 leads to 16 new 事例／患者s?

The 共同の 委員会 on ワクチン接種 and Immunisation (JCVI), which advises the 政府, says it would lead to 'far より小数の' serious 事例／患者s.?

Britain would also be brought in line with the US,?Germany, Canada?and Australia, should the move go ahead.

Professor Sir Andrew Pollard, 議長，司会を務める of the JCVI, said: 'Chickenpox is 井戸／弁護士席 known, and most parents will probably consider it a ありふれた and 穏やかな illness の中で children.?

'But for some babies, young children and even adults, chickenpox or its 複雑化s can be very serious, resulting in hospitalisation and even death.

'追加するing the varicella ワクチン to the childhood immunisation programme will 劇的な 減ずる the number of chickenpox 事例／患者s in the community, 主要な to far より小数の of those 悲劇の, more serious 事例／患者s.

'We now have １０年間s of 証拠 from the US and other countries showing that introducing this programme is 安全な, 効果的な and will have a really 肯定的な 衝撃 on the health of young children.'

Chickenpox is 原因（となる）d by a ウイルス called varicella-zoster, and it is 普通は a 穏やかな and 比較して 害のない illness that 原因（となる）s a tell-tale 無分別な.

It usually （疑いを）晴らすs up on its own within days.?

Soothing creams can 緩和する the itching and paracetamol can relieve the 苦痛.

However, scientists are 関心d after chickenpox 事例／患者s 低迷d during the Covid pandemic 予定 to lockdowns and social distancing.

As a result, there is now a larger pool of children than usual without 免疫 to the illness, which can 証明する much more serious if caught at an older age.

The JCVI believes a catch-up programme would 申し込む／申し出 children 保護 against the 感染, as chickenpox can become more 厳しい with age.

It did not 始める，決める out 正確に／まさに who should be 申し込む／申し出d the jabs.

Yet in a 報告（する）／憶測 輪郭（を描く）ing its 推薦 it said: '初期の findings 示唆する that a 全世界の／万国共通の catch-up ワクチン接種 programme using a 選び出す／独身 dose of ワクチン is likely to be cost-効果的な for children up to five.'

It said その上の work was needed to understand whether a 的d programme 'could be cost-効果的な for children ages six to 11'.

A ワクチン to 保護する against chickenpox has been 利用できる since 1984.

現在／一般に, the jabs are only 利用できる on the NHS to some adults and children, such as those who are not 免疫の and in の近くに 接触する with someone who has a 弱めるd 免疫の system.

It is 利用できる 個人として in 化学者／薬剤師s such as Boots and Supe rdrug for about £65 per dose ? two are needed ? and at 私的な clinics.

計画（する）s to 学校／設ける a ワクチン接種 （選挙などの）運動をする were put on 持つ／拘留する at the beginning of the Covid pandemic after 助言者s were 教えるd to reprioritise.

類似の discussions took place in 2010, but were 発射 負かす／撃墜する by 専門家s who worried such a （選挙などの）運動をする would not be cost-効果的な because it may lead to an 増加する of shingles in middle-老年の adults.

最近の 熟考する／考慮するs have however 示唆するd that vaccinating children may not 運動 up shingles 率s.?

A 重要な worry is that poor take-up of the ワクチン could 増加する the number of 厳しい 事例／患者s of chickenpox in the UK because unjabbed kids would be いっそう少なく likely to catch the ウイルス while they're young.

In Germany, the ワクチン was introduced in 2004 and led to a 65 per cent 減少（する） in 事例／患者s in the first six years.

The US 器具／実施するd a ワクチン接種 （選挙などの）運動をする in 1996 and has since seen a 90 per cent 減少（する） in children catching the 病気.

Dr Gayatri Amirthalingam, 副 director of public health programmes at the UK Health 安全 機関, said: 'Introducing a ワクチン against chickenpox would 妨げる most children getting what can be やめる a 汚い illness?― and for those who would experience more 厳しい symptoms, it could be a life saver.

'The JCVI's 推薦s will help make chickenpox a problem of the past and bring the UK into line with a number of other countries that have 井戸／弁護士席-設立するd programmes.'

Some chickenpox 苦しんでいる人s will go on to develop 複雑化s, 含むing bacterial 感染s such as group A streptococcus.

In 厳しい 事例／患者s it can 原因（となる） a swelling of the brain (encephalitis), inflammation of the 肺s (pneumonitis) and a 一打／打撃, which can result in hospitalisation and even death.
