La varicela se extiende en los campos de Gaza con cientos de casos apareciendo en dos semanas.
Los doctores dicen que la escala del brote es probablemente más grande, ya que el hacinamiento hace que sea imposible aislarlos, y familias de seis o más miembros comparten tiendas de unos pocos metros cuadrados. Miles de niños nacidos durante la guerra no pudieron completar su vacunación, dejando a los más vulnerables sin protección.
A catastrophe in every sense of the word is spreading among the children of Gaza, in the camps and cities. Chickenpox is now rampant among the children; there are no hospitals, no treatment. Death is imminent for our children. Save the children of Gaza.

"Chickenpox vaccines for young children start across UK"
Excellent news. They should have started 25 years ago, of course, but better late than never.
Most children make an uneventful recovery from chickenpox, but some don't, and if you're really unlucky it can be fatal. This will surely save lives.
And even if you avoid serious complications, chickenpox is never fun. The vaccines will avoid a lot of unnecessary suffering and time off work.
