I can't answer your specific question accurately from this research.\n\nWhat I'd suggest: your pediatrician can review your daughter's vaccination record and let you know whether a second varicella dose is due based on her age and the timing of her first shot. Varicella protection and booster schedules do vary by country and local guidelines, so their recommendation for your child will be the most reliable.","sources":"[]","thread_json":null,"topic":"vaccines","view_count":0,"created_at":"2026-10-31T00:01:40.620Z"}
