A Long-term Prospective Study of Varicella Vaccine in Healthy Children

Abstract

1) Modified chickenpox has occurred in approximately 2% to 3% of vaccinees per year, regardless of the vaccine lot given. 2) FAMA titers have risen between 1 and 10 years in research lot recipients and remained the same in production lot recipients. 3) The likelihood of modified chickenpox developing is inversely related to the 6-week postvaccination FAMA titer.
