Varicella-zoster vaccine is a vaccine used to prevent chickenpox and shingles. Chickenpox is an acute infectious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus and is primarily spread among children. The chickenpox virus can also lie dormant in the body after infection and may cause shingles later. Vaccination with the varicella-zoster vaccine can effectively prevent chickenpox and reduce the occurrence of shingles.
In Hong Kong, varicella-zoster vaccine is usually recommended for children and adults, especially those who have not been infected with the varicella virus. Minor local reactions such as redness, swelling or pain may occur after vaccination, but they are usually mild and temporary. Serious side effects are quite rare.
If you have any questions about vaccinations or need more information, please talk to your doctor. Getting vaccinated is an effective way to protect yourself and others from chickenpox and shingles.
HOW TO USE: VARICELLA ZOSTER VACCINE is a vaccine that protects against chickenpox and shingles. Injections are usually given into muscle tissue, with the most common site being the upper arm. After vaccination, you may experience mild pain or redness at the injection site, which is normal. It is usually not necessary to take it with food, but excessive activity should be avoided on the day of vaccination to avoid discomfort at the vaccination site.
Dosage Guidelines: The dosage of VARICELLA ZOSTER VACCINE varies based on age. For adults and adolescents, one dose, 0.65 ml, is usually recommended. For children, dosage may vary based on age and weight. For children aged 12 months to 12 years, 0.5 ml per dose is usually recommended. For adolescents and adults 13 years and older, 0.65 ml per dose. When dose adjustments are necessary, follow the advice of your medical professional and ensure you complete the full vaccination schedule as directed.
