The Dutch health council advised against including chickenpox vaccination in the standard vaccination programme in 2020 for the European Netherlands (but pro vaccination for Dutch overseas territories in the Caribbean). The advise (in Dutch) can be found under "advies Vaccinatie tegen waterpokken" [1]. I don't have an opinion on whether the council properly weighted all the costs and benefits. I just want to include this reference make the point that the Dutch policy stance is not based on lack of means or on ignorance of our politicians or health authorities. The advice includes plenty of references to many international studies and experiences with chickenpox vaccination.
