If you are looking for a private chickenpox vaccination for yourself or your child, Touchwood Pharmacy in Lichfield offers the varicella vaccine through private vaccination services.

Our trained pharmacists are here to help, offering a convenient and reliable vaccination service for both children and adults, with no GP referral needed and no long waits. We can advise on eligibility, dosing schedules, and any questions you may have before vaccination.
