- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now recommends that children receive 2 doses of the varicella-zoster (Chickenpox) vaccine: the initial vaccine between ages 12 - 15 months, and a booster between 4 - 6 years. Children aged 12 and older and adults who have not had the vaccine should receive 2 doses. Immunization guidelines were changed following research that indicated the effectiveness of the vaccine declines over time.
