Varicella Vaccine (live) attenuated (2000PFU)

Overview Varivax Vaccine

The Varivax vaccine actively immunizes against chickenpox in individuals aged 12 months and older. Administered by a healthcare provider, this two-dose injection (intramuscularly or subcutaneously in the upper arm) safeguards against varicella virus infections. Children aged 12 months to 12 years receive the second dose at least three months after the first; adolescents and adults require a minimum four-week interval between doses. Minor injection site reactions (pain, swelling, redness), rashes, and low-grade fever are common, typically resolving spontaneously. Persistent or worsening symptoms necessitate medical attention, with potential management strategies available. Prior to vaccination, disclose any pre-existing conditions or medications to your physician. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before vaccination.
