The proposed vaccination plan would align Sweden with Finland, aiming to reduce workplace absenteeism due to child illnesses and minimize serious chickenpox infections among vulnerable groups.
Vaccinating at the prescribed ages for chickenpox could significantly lower the number of parents needing time off work, while also protecting adults and at-risk populations from severe complications.
Current vaccinations against chickenpox at private clinics are costly, but integrating it into the national program means it would become accessible and free for all children.
The Public Health Agency emphasizes that while chickenpox is mild in children, it can pose serious risks for adults and specific vulnerable groups, making vaccination important.
