FAQs

Who should get the chickenpox vaccine privately?

Children who missed the new 2026 NHS rollout and adults with no history of the disease. Deltera’s pre-screen helps identify non-immune patients through a simple history check.

How many doses of the vaccine are needed?

A full course is two doses. Deltera’s integrated reminders ensure the second dose is administered at the correct 6-week interval for maximum efficacy.

What if a patient has been exposed recently?

The PGD includes protocols for post-exposure prophylaxis. Deltera’s logic helps the pharmacist determine if the vaccine is still appropriate based on the timing of exposure.

Are records accessible to the patient?

Yes. Once administered, the patient can see their vaccination history in their branded Deltera portal, providing a secure "digital yellow card" for their records.
