Varicella 2nd dose same vaccine received TWICE!

fiori1020
My son received the same VariVax chickenpox vaccine 2nd dose twice, once last year and then the same vaccine (due to a change in pediatrician, not all immunization papers were faxed in to the new doc), was received last week after a year. Are there any dangers, side effects of receiving the same chickenpox 2nd dose vaccine TWICE a year apart? The child is 5 years old. Thank you.

No danger in taking a vaccine twice.  I've had a few of my vaccines repeated due to time going by.
