Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Pediatrics
  • Vaccinology

Context:

  • Varicella (chickenpox) is typically mild in children but poses significant risks to immunocompromised individuals.
  • Immunosuppression, often due to leukemia, neoplastic diseases, or tissue transplantation, increases varicella severity.
  • The live, attenuated varicella vaccine was developed in 1974.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the immunogenicity, efficacy, reactogenicity, and stability of the live, attenuated varicella vaccine.
  • To assess the advisability of varicella vaccination for immunocompromised children in Poland.

Summary:

  • The varicella vaccine is immunogenic, effective, minimally reactogenic, and stable.
  • The vaccine's high cost (74 DM per dose) is a consideration.
  • Vaccination is advised for children with immunosuppression undergoing treatment for leukemia or other diseases in Poland.
