Webprovider who has at least 1 documented dose of rubella-containing vaccine is tested serologically and determined to have negative or equivocal rubella titer results, receipt of an additional dose of MMR vaccine for prevention of rubella is not recommended. Therefore, vaccination may be considered in these groups. ACIP recommends that documentation of 2 valid doses of MMR vaccine supersedes any subsequent serologic testing, even if titers are negative. In 1875, Rudolf Steiner demonstrated that chickenpox was caused by an infectious agent by inoculating volunteers with the vesicular fluid from a patient with acute varicella.

HIV-infected children with CD4+ T-lymphocyte percentage of 15% or higher, and older children and adults with a CD4+ count of 200 per microliter or higher may be considered for vaccination. Because serologic evidence of VZV infection has been documented in 96%-97% of U.S.-born adults age 20-29 years and in 97%-99% of adults age 30 years or older tested during 19981999, individuals who were born in the United States before 1980 are considered to have evidence of immunity except for health-care personnel (risk of spreading VZV to high-risk patients), pregnant women (risk of transmission to fetus which might result in congenital varicella syndrome), and immunocompromised persons (risk of severe disease). People who previously got the first dose should get a second dose at the appropriate time interval. The patients were followed for 2 years after vaccination and no adverse reactions or episodes of primary varicella or HZ were reported.

Although findings of some studies have suggested otherwise, most investigations have not identified time since vaccination as a risk factor for breakthrough varicella. Because of the potential inhibition of the response to vaccination by passively transferred antibodies, neither VAR vaccine nor MMRV vaccine (nor MMR vaccine) should be administered for 3 to 11 months after receipt of antibody-containing blood products.

Children with a personal or family history of seizures of any etiology should ideally be vaccinated with separate MMR and VAR vaccines because the risks for using MMRV vaccine in this group of children generally outweigh the benefits. WebThe annual rate of breakthrough varicella significantly increased with the time since vaccination, from 1.6 cases per 1000 person-years within 1 year after vaccination to 58.2 If they develop lesions that do not crust (macules and papules only), they should wait until no new lesions appear within a 24-hour period.

The most frequent complications in immunocompromised persons are pneumonia and encephalitis. Certain institutions may request signing an acknowledgement of non-responder status document before clinical placements. These local adverse reactions are generally mild and self-limited. In otherwise healthy persons, a second occurrence of varicella is uncommon; it is more common in immunocompromised persons. This severe disease is the result of fetal exposure to VZV without the benefit of passive maternal antibody. WebThe level of VZV antibody six weeks after vaccination appears to be correlated with effectiveness in preventing subsequent varicella to 10 years in children and adolescents (level II-2 evidence). CDC twenty four seven. The period of communicability extends from 1 to 2 days before the onset of rash until all lesions have formed crusts. The interval between the antibody-containing blood product and receipt of VAR, MMR, or MMRV vaccine is determined by the type of product administered. Vaccinated healthcare personnel exposed to VZV should be monitored daily from day 8 to 21 after exposure through the employee health or infection control program to screen for fever, skin lesions, and systemic symptoms.
