Varicella Vaccine Live/Pf

What is Varivax Vaccine used for?

This vaccine is used to help prevent varicella (also known as chickenpox). Chickenpox is an infection that is usually mild, but can sometimes lead to serious problems (such as brain/lung problems, severe infections). Vaccination is the best way to protect against this infection. It can help prevent the infection or decrease the seriousness of the illness if you become infected. This vaccine contains live viruses that have been weakened. It works by increasing the body's natural defense (immunity) against the viruses. The vaccine is recommended for children 12 months and older and adults who have not had chickenpox or received a varicella vaccination before. Vaccines may not fully protect everyone who receives them.
