Fund free chicken pox vaccinations for all children

What the petition asks

The Government should fund free chicken pox vaccination for all children.
In rare cases, the virus that causes chicken pox can lead to complications including, or be associated with, sepsis, strep, pneumonia and meningitis. My daughter is 3 years old and currently battling some of these conditions. No parent should have to watch their child suffer. Free chicken pox vaccination should be available to all children.
