Varivax 1350PFU/0.5ML
What is Varivax?
Varivax is a live, attenuated viral vaccine used to prevent chickenpox (varicella), a common childhood illness caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It is administered via subcutaneous injection and is recommended for children aged 12 months and older, as well as susceptible adults who have not had chickenpox. The vaccine stimulates the immune system to develop immunity to the virus, significantly reducing the likelihood of developing chickenpox and its associated complications.Side Effects
- Allergic reaction: Itching or hives, swelling in your face or hands, swelling or tingling in your mouth or throat, chest tightness, trouble breathing
- Blistering, peeling, red skin rash
- Cough, chills, runny or stuffy nose, cold-like symptoms
Warnings
- It is not safe to take this medicine during pregnancy. It could harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant. Do not become pregnant for 3 months after you receive this vaccine.
- Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding, or if you have received a blood transfusion, other blood products, or an immune globulin.
- You may be able to pass the virus to other people after you receive this vaccine. You should avoid close contact with people at high risk for chickenpox for 6 weeks after you receive this vaccine. Some examples of people who are at high risk are pregnant women, newborn babies, and those with immune system problems (including bone marrow disease, cancer, or AIDS). Talk to your doctor if you have questions.
- You will need to have a skin test for tuberculosis before the vaccine is given, or on the same day the vaccine is given, or at least 4 weeks after you receive this vaccine. Tell your doctor if you or anyone in your home has ever had a positive reaction to a tuberculosis skin test.
