Mechanism of action
As a live, attenuated vaccine, varicella virus vaccine offers active immunity to disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus by inducing cell mediated and humoral immune responses
用途/適應症 
Use Varicella prevention: For the prevention of varicella in persons 12 months and older
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends vaccination for all children, adolescents, and adults who do not have evidence of immunity (CDC/ACIP [Marin, 2007]). Vaccination is especially important for:
‧ Health care personnel
‧ Household contacts of immunocompromised persons
‧ Persons living or working in environments where transmission is likely (teachers, child-care workers, residents and staff of institutional settings)
‧ Persons in environments where transmission has been reported
‧ Nonpregnant women of childbearing age
‧ Adolescents and adults in households with children
‧ International travelers

Varilrix (Canadian product): Also approved for use in high-risk patients (eg, acute leukemia [complete remission and lymphocyte count≧1,200/mm3 or that no other evidence of lack of cellular immune competence exists], planned organ transplantation [6 to 8 weeks prior to], receiving immunosuppressive treatment [with lymphocyte count ≧1,200/mm3], or other chronic diseases); approved for use in susceptible healthy contacts of high-risk patients.

常用劑量
(藥品劑量會因人或病情增減,請依照醫師指示服用。)
Dose 【Adult】
Varicella immunization: SubQ:
- US labeling: Two doses of 0.5 mL separated by≧4 weeks (4 to 8 weeks apart per ACIP). Note: The ACIP recommends that all children and adults without evidence of immunity receive 2 doses of the vaccine; those who received only 1 dose of a varicella-containing vaccine receive a second dose (CDC/ACIP [Marin 2007]).
- Canadian labeling: Two single doses 0.5 mL separated by 4 to 8 weeks (Varivax III) or≧6 weeks (Varilrix); Note: The NACI recommends that adolescents (≧13 years of age) and adults (<50 years of age) who received only 1 dose of vaccine receive a second dose (NACI 2016).

Varicella postexposure prophylaxis (healthy, previously unvaccinated individuals) (off-label use): SubQ: 0.5 mL administered ideally within 72 hours postexposure but may be used up to 120 hours (5 days) postexposure (CDC/ACIP [Marin 2007])

【Pediatric】
Primary immunization:
- CDC/ACIP recommendations: Children≧12 months: SubQ: 0.5 mL per dose for a total of 2 doses administered as follows: 12 to 15 months of age and 4 to 6 years of age. The second dose may be administered earlier provided≧3 months have elapsed after the first dose. If the second dose was administered≧4 weeks after the first dose, it may be considered as valid (CDC/ACIP [Marin 2007]).
- Canadian labeling: National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) recommends 2 doses of 0.5 mL with first dose administered at 12 to 15 months of age. Separate doses by≧3 months; however, if rapid protection is necessary, may administer second dose after ≧4 weeks (NACI 2016).
>> Children:
* Varilrix: SubQ: 2 doses of 0.5 mL separated by≧6 weeks.
* Varivax III: SubQ: 0.5 mL as a single dose.
>> Adolescents: SubQ: 2 doses of 0.5 mL separated by 4 to 8 weeks (Varivax III) or≧6 weeks (Varilrix); Note: The NACI recommends that adolescents who received only 1 dose of vaccine receive a second dose (NACI 2016).

Catch-up immunization: Children and Adolescents: ACIP recommendations (CDC/ACIP [Marin 2007]): Note: Do not restart the series. If doses have been given, begin the below schedule at the applicable dose number. SubQ: 0.5 mL per dose for a total of 2 doses administered as follows:
- First dose given on the elected date.
- Second dose given at least 3 months after the first dose (if age <13 years) or at least 4 weeks after the first dose (if age≧13 years).

Varicella postexposure prophylaxis (healthy, previously unvaccinated individuals): Children (≧12 months) and Adolescents: SubQ: 0.5 mL administered ideally within 72 hours postexposure but may be used up to 120 hours (5 days) postexposure (CDC/ACIP [Marin 2007]).

UpToDate:
Varicella virus vaccine is contraindicated for use in pregnant patients.

Information related to pregnancy and fetal outcomes following inadvertent exposure to the varicella virus vaccine was collected from 1995-2013 using the manufacturer`s pregnancy registry. Data was available from 905 women who received a varicella containing vaccine (30% within 3 months prior to conception) and who had known pregnancy outcomes. Among these women, the rates of miscarriage and birth defects was not increased above background rates, and there were no infants born with abnormalities consistent with congenital varicella syndrome. Postmarketing data collected since closure of the pregnancy registry has not detected new safety concerns or an increased risk of major birth defects following inadvertent varicella vaccine exposure during pregnancy (Woodward 2019).

Varicella disease during the first or second trimesters may result in congenital varicella syndrome. The onset of maternal varicella infection from 5 days prior to 2 days after delivery may cause varicella infection in the newborn. All women should be assessed for immunity during a prenatal visit; those without evidence of immunity should be vaccinated upon completion or termination of pregnancy (CDC/ACIP [Marin 2007]).

仿單:
目前尚未使用Varivax於動物的生殖研究,故目前未知懷孕婦女注射Varivax是否會對胎兒造成傷害,或影響其生殖能力,因此懷孕婦女不應注射Varivax。甚至注射疫苗後三個月內應避免懷孕。
