What is Varivax and what is it used for?:
VARIVAX is a vaccine to help protect adults and children against chickenpox (varicella). Vaccines are used to protect you or your child against infectious diseases. VARIVAX can be administered to persons 12 months of age or older. VARIVAX may also be administered to infants from 9 months of age under special circumstances, such as to conform with national vaccination schedules or in outbreak situations. It may also be given to persons who have no history of chickenpox, but who have been exposed to someone who has chickenpox. Vaccination within 3 days of exposure may help prevent chickenpox or reduce the severity of disease, resulting in fewer skin lesions and shorter duration of illness. In addition, there is limited information that being vaccinated up to 5 days after exposure may reduce disease severity. As with other vaccines, VARIVAX does not completely protect all individuals from naturally acquired chickenpox.
