With reports of the increase in cases of Chickenpox in the news recently we thought for this week\\u2019s check-in with Pharmacist Elizabeth Roddick from New Life Pharmacy in Glasgow we should focus on Chickenpox.
\\n
\\nElizabeth began by explaining to RNIB Connect Radio\\u2019s Toby Davey about the connection between Chickenpox and Shingles and how ChickenPox is spread. Then to the itchy rash that people get with ChickenPox and how long the rash might last.
\\n
\\nFinally Elizabeth talked about the vaccines for chickenpox.
