The Effectiveness of the Varicella Vaccine in Clinical Practice
Background A live attenuated varicella vaccine was approved for use in the United States in March 1995 and is recommended for all susceptible persons 12 months of age or older.
Methods To assess the effectiveness of the varicella vaccine, we conducted a casecontrol study with two controls per child with chickenpox, matched according to both age and pediatric practice. Children with potential cases of chickenpox were identified by active surveillance of pediatric practices in the New Haven, Connecticut, area. Research assistants visited the children on day 3, 4, or 5 of the illness, assessed the severity of the illness, and collected samples from lesions to test for varicellazoster virus by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
Results From March 1997 through November 2000, data collection was completed for 330 potential cases, of which 243 (74 percent) were in children who had positive PCR tests for varicellazoster virus.
Of the 56 vaccinated children with chickenpox, 86 percent had mild disease, whereas only 48 percent of the 187 unvaccinated children with chickenpox had mild disease (P<0.001 ). Among the 202 children with PCR-confirmed varicellazoster virus and their 389 matched controls, 23 percent of the children with chickenpox and 61 percent of the matched controls had received the vaccine (
vaccine effectiveness, 85 percent; 95 percent confidence interval, 78 to 90 percent; P<0.001).
Against moderately severe and severe disease the vaccine was 97 percent effective (95 percent confidence interval, 93 to 99 percent). The effectiveness of the vaccine was virtually unchanged (87 percent) after adjustment for potential confounders by means of conditional logistic regression.
Conclusions
Varicella vaccine is highly effective as used in clinical practice.bet kaip gerai istraukti kad NET 15 PROC. IMUNITETAS NESUSIFORMUOJA.
Man atrodo 85 proc efektyvumo gan neblogas rezultatas, tuo labiau kad pries sunkias formas duoda net 97 proc. efektyvumo
o del imuniteto isliekimo jau kalbejom, jeigu virusas cirkuliuos laisvai , revakcinacijos nereikalingos.
Longer-term follow-up studies in vaccinated persons have been reported.9,10 The protective concentrations of antibody among vaccinated persons in Japan have persisted for more than 20 years after immunization,11 but this persistence may be due in part to a booster effect from exposure to persons with chickenpox in a country where the vaccine is not used widely12 and where the incidence of chickenpox remains high.
